As explained by Sergio Sánchez, from ADN Sindical, the majority professional private security union in Catalonia on Antena 3, “the boys jumped over the turnstiles, a guard caught their attention, went down to the platforms with another colleague and asked them to leave the season”. At that moment was when they attacked the two guards “they became violent and began to hit them.”
Sánchez explains on said platform that two other Renfe canine guides who were traveling on the train, upon seeing what was happening, got off the convoy to try to help “at that moment one of the aggressors took the defense off one of the guards and used it to hitting him on the head, causing a gap that required two stitches.
ADN Sindical denounces the lack of personnel in train stations and insecurity in the Barcelona metro: “It is daily bread, there are no police actions, we need police operations in the metro, the public administration forgets to solve this problem in the Barcelona transport network”.
