The Civil Guard is investigating a brutal fight that occurred in the early hours of October 5th outside a nightclub in Santa Lucía de Tirajana.
The Civil Guard from the Vecindario Main Station is investigating a serious incident that occurred in the early hours of October 5th in the municipality of Santa Lucía de Tirajana , Gran Canaria. The incident, which took place near an entertainment venue, left several people injured after a violent fight in the street.
At approximately 00:45 a.m., officers received a call about a large fight outside a nightclub. Upon arriving, they found a shirtless man, covered in blood and visibly shaken, with a wound to his right cheekbone. The injured man was uncooperative, simply explaining that he had been in an argument with several individuals.
Police investigation and testimonies about the incident
Thanks to an eyewitness account, the Civil Guard was able to reconstruct the events. The injured man had reportedly tried to enter the establishment despite being prohibited from doing so, and confronted three other men. In the midst of the tension, one of those involved grabbed a glass bottle from a nearby container, which triggered the fight. The area was left littered with broken glass, reflecting the violence of the altercation.
Shortly afterward, officers were informed that one of the individuals involved had been taken to the Vecindario Health Center . There, they located a second man with a large bandage on his chest and who was very agitated. He stated that he had only tried to break up the fight but ended up sustaining several cuts. Although he could not specify what type of weapon was used, he identified the perpetrator without hesitation as the same individual who had been treated by the officers minutes earlier.
Medical care and legal consequences
Medical personnel confirmed the severity of the injuries: the victim had a wound approximately fifteen centimeters long in his chest and was therefore rushed to the Insular Hospital for surgery. Given these circumstances, the Civil Guard considered it a possible serious assault. The victim was informed of his right to file a complaint and stated his intention to do so after being discharged from the hospital. Later, a third injured man arrived at the hospital with minor cuts, although he ultimately decided not to press charges.
The investigations carried out by officers from the Vecindario Main Station , belonging to the Citizen Services and Prevention Unit, allowed them to fully identify the alleged perpetrator of the attack. After speaking with his associates and verifying the amount of evidence against him, the suspect chose to voluntarily surrender at the Civil Guard station.
The proceedings have been sent to the Duty Court of San Bartolomé de Tirajana , where the judicial investigation into this serious incident that occurred in Santa Lucía de Tirajana will continue.
