The Civil Guard arrested one person this Wednesday and is investigating two others for the alleged homophobic aggression suffered by two men in a bar in the Pueblo Marinero of Costa Teguise. This Thursday, October 27, the detainee and the police proceedings have been placed at the disposal of the court.

As La Voz reported the alleged victim, the events occurred this Monday, October 24, around 01:00 in the morning. At this time, the man explains that he and a friend who accompanied him decided to sit in the local where they ordered some beers. At one point, one of these drinks fell to the floor. After that, the complainant says that he has trouble remembering how the situation unfolded, but that the two men ran towards him and his companion shouting "faggots": "They approached us and started hitting us. I remember they threw me to the ground and there they gave me a beating, with punches and kicks." In addition, the complainant stated that the two alleged aggressors were employees of the premises.

This aggression has had other consequences, the dismissal by the owner of the bar of the two waiters, as La Voz has learned. In addition, the management of the bar has collaborated from the first moment with the investigation to clarify the facts by delivering the video of the images of that night.
