Once the premises closed, everyone left and, being already on the street, several of these people took his wallet, 40 euros that he had in it and his mobile phone.
"At the moment when I insisted twice that they please return my mobile, they punched me and broke my lip," the victim explained to La Voz. A blow for which, according to the complaint, "he fell to the ground", but "did not lose consciousness". The aggressors "left him lying on the ground, running away from the place".
Several police units arrived at the scene, who requested an ambulance to assist the victim, being transferred to the José Molina Orosa Hospital in Arrecife, where they treated the wound on his lip. Subsequently, the man went to the police station to file the complaint.
