The Notional Police has arrested a 30-year-old man in Alicante who assaulted and kidnapped his 44-year-old boss after he told him of his dismissal. The events occurred on February 10 in the town of Canillas de Aceituno, in the AxarquÃa region of Malaga.
As confirmed by police sources, the incident was triggered when the businessman announced to one of his workers that he would not continue in his job as a farm laborer.
At that time, the employee asked his former boss to do him the favor of bringing him closer to his home, since he was carrying a chainsaw and was very heavy. He accepted and took him with his private vehicle, but during the journey, and in a “very violent and surprising” way, the assailant began to hit the victim hard, stopped the vehicle and managed to get behind the controls driving towards the highway, direction Alicante.
Once in this province, the detainee asked the victim for cash to refuel at a service station in Villajoyosa. The businessman took advantage of that moment to flee the place using a spare car key that he had in the glove compartment.
The victim, who had a bruised and bloody face, managed to reach Benidorm, where he requested help and several police units and an ambulance attended.
The businessman told the agents everything that had happened, giving a detailed description of the author of the events and his last location. Thanks to this, the agents managed to locate and arrest him, charging him with the crime of illegal detention, serious injuries, and attack on an agent of authority.
Among the belongings of the arrested they found a backpack with two bladed weapons, a hunting knife and a folding knife. Finally, the detainee has been handed over to the Duty Court of the town of Vila Joiosa.
