Two Moroccan migrants arrested for attacking officers on Trampolín beach

The Civil Guard has detained two migrants of Moroccan nationality in Ceuta accused of an alleged crime of assault against a police officer, according to reporting by El Mundo citing police sources.

A patrol circulating in the Trampolín beach area observed two individuals fighting with weapons. When the officers descended from the vehicle to intervene, both fled.

Following a foot pursuit, the patrol managed to reach them. The two men attempted to assault the officers, resulting in a struggle before they were eventually subdued. One of those detained had several stab wounds and was taken to hospital.

The arrested men are two individuals aged between 20 and 30, according to Europa Press, and have been placed at the disposal of the courts.

The intervention occurred in the same strip of Trampolín beach where the largest number of migrants in irregular situations are concentrated, following the mass arrival recorded in Ceuta on 30 and 31 July. It is also the same location where a group of migrants threw Molotov cocktails at several military personnel in a previous incident.
