Authorities in Alicante report that police agents detained the porter of a nightlife venue in the port district after a disturbance that escalated into violence. The incident began when a confrontation with a patron disrupted local patrons and led to a physical clash near the venue entrances. Several prohibited items were found on the detainee during the arrest, including a butterfly knife measuring 23 centimeters, a blunt object wrapped in tape commonly described as an improvised hammer, a small pair of shackles with a key, and a finger restraint device. The discovery of these weapons followed a call to the CIMAC room of the 091 telecommunication center about the altercation in the area. A security unit from the Alicante Citizens’ Security Brigade spotted two men fleeing on a nearby street; one of them wore visible injuries and appeared distressed, which prompted their capture as potential suspects in the incident.

During subsequent questioning, one of the men claimed he was attacked by an individual associated with the port entertainment venue. He alleged that the attacker threatened him with a knife, which prompted the venue employee on duty to intervene. Medical personnel were required at the scene to treat the injured man and transported him for further care. The report notes that the attack occurred in the context of a confrontation involving the venue staff and the patron group, with the alleged aggressor asserting self-defense in response to the perceived threat.

the bouncer’s actions and the aftermath
According to investigators, the victim reportedly disrupted the establishment by creating a disturbance in the work area. A bouncer who was tasked with maintaining order restrained the aggressor by applying a control hold from behind, briefly immobilizing him with a hold known as mataleón. The immobilization occurred while staff attempted to remove the intruder from the premises with the aim of restoring safety for guests and employees. The confrontation then shifted as the restrained individual regained consciousness and advanced toward the doorman with hostile intent, suggesting a need for further self-defense given the aggression displayed.

The medical team treated the man who had been assaulted. Initial assessments indicated bruises and stab-like wounds requiring stitches to the head, chin, and right knee. The patient was stabilized and transferred to a general hospital for a second evaluation. In the course of the operation, police arrested the doorman as the suspected author of serious injury. The person under arrest was found to be carrying a prohibited weapon. All weapons were seized by authorities during the arrest. The detainee, a 31-year-old man of Spanish nationality, was presented to the vacation court in the same neighborhood for preliminary proceedings.
