The assault with a knife that took place this Tuesday on Manolo Millares street in Arrecife began, according to the Local Police, when a man entered a house through the window and attempted to sexually assault a 19-year-old girl.
The alleged aggressor, who has already been arrested by the Arrecife Local Police, grabbed the victim "by the neck" and began to touch her breasts, according to the complaint. The young woman tried to resist and the detainee threatened her with a knife, causing cuts to her left leg.
After the incident, both had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance, as he also had minor injuries to his face, as reported to La Voz from the Coordinating Center for Security and Emergencies. "He was bloody and quite nervous", they pointed out from the Local Police, who accompanied the man in the ambulance due to his "aggressive attitude".
After receiving medical assistance, he was taken to the cells, awaiting to be brought to justice. There, according to the police report, he again resisted, "spitting at the officers and uttering phrases such as “Ala Akbar”, Allah is great". According to the City Council, the detainee is a 29-year-old man of Moroccan nationality.
The incident took place at around 6:00 p.m. and agents from the Local Police and the National Police went to the scene. When they arrived, both the alleged aggressor and the victim were already on the street, as apparently the young woman had managed to leave the house.
