National Police agents have arrested a 35-year-old man in Telde as the alleged perpetrator of a serious threat crime with a bladed weapon, after threatening a hairdresser inside his establishment.
The events occurred around 10:30 AM on November 7, when several agents who were carrying out citizen security duties in the San Gregorio area, due to a police service, received a report from a citizen alerting them to the presence of a man armed with a knife who was threatening another person in a nearby barbershop.
The agents immediately went to the scene and confirmed that, outside the establishment, there was an individual carrying a large knife. Faced with this situation, the agents ordered him to drop the weapon, managing to get him to put it on the ground without resisting. Once the situation was secured, the agents gathered information about what had happened. According to the detainee, moments before he had gotten his hair cut at the establishment and, after a comment from the hairdresser about the result of the cut, he had felt annoyed and had left the premises.
Moments later, he returned with a knife he had taken from his vehicle and began to threaten the professional, even telling him that he was going to stab him as he approached him in an aggressive and intimidating manner.
The agents checked the images from the establishment's security cameras, on which they were able to observe the sequence of events and how the individual approached the victim with the knife in his hand.
After gathering statements from the people involved and viewing the recordings, the police proceeded to arrest the man as the alleged perpetrator of a serious threat crime with a bladed weapon.
Once the police proceedings were completed, the detainee was placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authority.
