Arrest in Dulantzi after brawl by the river
According to naiz.eus, the Ertzaintza detained a 57-year-old man accused of throwing another into the river following a fight in Solandia park in Dulantzi. The incident occurred shortly after midnight when a call alerted Basque police that there was an unconscious person on the bank.
Several patrols arrived at the scene and found a 45-year-old man lying on the ground beneath a wall approximately 4 metres high, with multiple bruises and a bleeding head wound. The ertzainas descended to the riverbank and attended to the injured man until emergency services arrived, who transferred him to Txagorritxu Hospital in Gasteiz after an initial assessment at the scene.
Through statements from people in the area, investigators reconstructed the facts: minutes before the incident, the victim had been having an argument with another man, who grabbed him by the legs and threw him into the river over the fence before fleeing.
Shortly afterwards, the Ertzaintza located the alleged aggressor sitting in the passenger seat of his vehicle at a short distance from the park. The detainee, who has a history of previous arrests by Basque police, was arrested as the suspected perpetrator of attempted homicide. He was being held in police custody pending presentation before the courts.
