The national police arrested a woman after a violent incident that began outside a bar in the Pere Garau area and escalated into a biting attack. According to authorities, the confrontation occurred when a patron who had just been asked to leave the bar became disruptive and started harassing other customers. The tension spilled onto the street, drawing bystanders and attracting the attention of responding officers. The arrest followed a chaotic sequence of events that left one man injured and a portion of his ear damaged in the ensuing scuffle.
In an official statement, the Prosecutor General’s Office described the incident as a disorderly confrontation tied to the bar’s expulsion policy from that Thursday night. The bar staff reportedly attempted to calm the situation and block access to the premises with chairs, but the expelled individual persisted in causing trouble. The diverging actions of the two men appeared to provoke a heated argument that quickly escalated into a physical altercation, including the involvement of a 58-year-old woman who was nearby during the incident and who became entangled in the melee as the confrontation intensified.
As the altercation continued, the assailant and her male counterpart exchanged blows until the first victim allegedly bit the other person in response to being attacked, resulting in the removal of part of his earlobe. The seriousness of the injury prompted immediate attention from health responders who were called to the scene. Medical teams documented the injury and arranged for the recovery of the ear fragment, which was later preserved in ice to aid any medical evaluation.
The local police, arriving soon after the disturbance began, secured the scene and coordinated with emergency medical personnel to ensure the injured party received medical care. Officers gathered statements from witnesses and reviewed the sequence of events to determine the exact cause of the assault and the respective responsibilities of each person involved. Based on the collected evidence and testimonies, the authorities proceeded to detain the woman on suspicion of an injury-related offense.
The Prosecutor General’s Office, in its briefing, noted that investigations are ongoing to clarify whether the injuries were intentional and to establish the appropriate charges. The case highlights the challenges that can arise when alcohol-related conflicts spill from private venues into public spaces, urging careful consideration of public safety protocols and crowd management practices in nightlife districts.
