An incident that shocked local residents occurred in Lleida on Sunday night. City police officers arrested a man, approximately forty years old, on suspicion of committing violent acts against his adult daughter right on the street. At the time, another child, the suspect’s younger son, who is only eight years old, was also present.
The events unfolded around 3 a.m. near the La Llotja building on Avinguda Tortosa. Patrol officers passing by noticed what was happening and intervened immediately. The man was detained on the spot, and the victim received the necessary assistance. The younger child was also taken under protection.
After the arrest, information about the incident was passed on to the regional police force of Catalonia (Mossos d’Esquadra) for further investigation and clarification of all the circumstances. Investigators are now working to establish what led the man to commit such a violent act, as well as whether similar incidents had previously occurred in the family.
Local residents are shocked by what happened, and discussion of the incident continues. Authorities emphasize that such crimes require special attention and support from society and state institutions. More details on the case, as well as decisions regarding the future of the detainee and his children, are expected soon.
