Two men of Moroccan nationality were arrested in the early hours of last Saturday after a scuffle with two security guards from the Molina Orosa Hospital, who were injured.
According to one of those affected, the events took place at around 03:30 hours, when the men showed up at the Emergency Room claiming they were injured. "They wanted to enter to be treated because they said they had been attacked, but they lifted their jackets and I didn't see anything on them," says one of the guards.
Thus, he points out that he told them that "they could not enter" the Hospital, but that they "insisted that they could." "We tried to calm the situation and get them to leave, but at one point they got upset and there was a small scuffle", says this security guard, who points out that as a result of it, his colleague "fell to the ground" and damaged "his meniscus" and he suffered injuries "to a finger on his hand."
The National Police went to the Molina Orosa Hospital after being requested by the security guards and proceeded to arrest the two men for resistance and disobedience to authority. According to the police force, they "repeatedly disobeyed" the officers, refusing to provide them with their identity.
After their arrest, those arrested were brought to judicial disposition and testified in the Investigating Court number 4 of Arrecife, on guard duty, which ordered their provisional release, pending the Public Prosecutor's Office deciding whether to charge them with a crime of injury or assault against authority.
In addition, we are waiting for the forensic doctor to determine the healing time of the guards' injuries since, if it is longer than a cure, the process must go to a Criminal Court.
