Catalan Police Detain Minor After New Group Assault in L'Arboç

Investigators are weighing ties to an earlier filmed beating of a 19-year-old with a disability.

Overview

  • Police arrested a minor suspected of taking part in a group attack on another minor in L'Arboç and referred the case to the juvenile prosecutor for alleged injuries.
  • The new assault targeted one of the youths linked to the earlier case, in what police sources described as possible revenge.
  • The first attack on the 19-year-old with a disability was recorded by the assailants and spread online, drawing broad public attention.
  • Three people were previously detained in that earlier case, including two minors and one adult, on suspicion of robbery with violence or intimidation and degrading treatment.
  • Mossos d'Esquadra continue to investigate and do not rule out more arrests, while the L'Arboç council calls the incidents isolated and urges calm.
