The National Police has arrested a man for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in Arrecife. It so happens that the arrested man, of Maghrebi origin, arrived on the island in May of this year and since then has a police record for sexual assault, as well as for theft and damages.

The events occurred last Saturday in the Charco de San Ginés area, where the minor was with a friend when she was approached by this man, who allegedly began to grope her, as police sources have confirmed to Europa Press.

Faced with this situation, the young woman and her friend fled, at which point they met a police patrol, to whom they provided the characteristics of the person, and the agents were finally able to arrest him and later make him available to the courts.
