Some people are having a hard time with this quarantine situation, especially those living in small flats, which is the case of a man in Nerja.

This 60-year-old gentleman ended up being arrested after launching numerous objects from his balcony, amongst them, beer cans – empty ones, I might add; he’s going stark crazy, not bloody stupid!

Anyway, the said man, who lives on a fifth floor along Calle Antonio Ferrandis Chanquete, happens to have a seriously long criminal record and is no stranger to doing time. Mind you, one thing is being locked up in a cell by yourself, and quite another is being locked up with your missus and bawling brats.

When the Policía Local turned up he addressed them in such a manner that all hopes of a Christmas card from them this year are faint… very faint. When the Guardia Civil turned up, the man was a bit more thrifty with the intensifying adjectives but still decidedly boisterous.

Amongst the items launched, sailing out over the balcony railing, was a frying pan complete with oil and several glass objects. Fortunately, his aim was as bad as his choice of beer brand so nobody was hurt although a parked moped found itself with some added extras.

He was finally arrested, which required several officers for the task, after which traffic flow was restored along the said street… not that there’s much traffic of course.
