This Tuesday afternoon, the Mossos d’Esquadra arrested an armed man who had barricaded himself inside an apartment with a baby of about 15 months in Terrassa (Barcelona). According to police sources, it would be a case of gender violence. The arrest occurred without injuries despite the fact that the detainee had a cutter in his hands, Diari de Terrassa said.
The events occurred on Núria Street, in the Maurina neighborhood, which was filled with police and EMS personnel when the emergency services received notice of an altercation in a home. It was the Generalitat Bombers who opened the door – so that the Catalan police could access – in which the man had locked himself with the child, according to Món Terrassa.
The agents located the man, who was detained, and the baby, who “is in good condition,” although they are waiting to give him a medical evaluation. In addition to the crime of sexist violence, the man is accused of resistance and disobedience.
