A man from Motril has been arrested for punching a Guardia-Civil policeman in the face. Things have changed, because before it was the Guardia Civil that used to punch people, if you were lucky!

The reason that the man hit the policeman in the face was because the traffic police had had the audacity to ask him to pull over because his lights weren’t working.

Now, it must have been a pretty hard punch because the policeman was first taken to Motril hospital, but later transferred to Traumatologia in Granada and put under observation with haemorrhaging and a cranial fracture. His medical condition was ‘serious’ but is now ‘stable.’

The incident occurred at the entrance into Torrenueva, on Saturday the 12th in the evening. Two policemen on traffic duty saw that the approaching car had defective lights and waved him down. The police had explained why the were going to fine him, which was when he punched one of them in the face, causing him to fall to the ground and bang the back of his head on the tarmac. Taken aback by his own violent efficiency, he then threatened the other policeman.

It took the intervention of a plainclothes policeman, who was passing by, to assist the remaining officer to carry out an arrest.
