During Sunday morning festivities in the Asturian town, several patrols from the Gijón Command Civil Guard intervened in a heated argument. Witnesses reported a man accused of harassing teenage girls and allegedly attempting to administer a chemical substance. Early reports from people close to the investigation indicated that law enforcement faced a crowd that directed strong criticism at the man as officers moved in to secure the scene.
Officials dispersed the altercation and began questioning the man. He was released due to lack of conclusive evidence at that moment. Yet the situation continued to unfold online, where many posts circulated showing a man who might be connected to the case. Some messages alleged his involvement in attempts to subdue young girls using a chemical agent. The posts also claimed he appeared at concerts held in Candás. Those sharing the images on social networks and messaging apps asserted that authorities did not intervene to stop the suspected offender.
At this time, authorities have not confirmed reports of any injections during the Candás events. It was suggested by a few young witnesses that they might file complaints if they felt harmed, though no formal complaints have been publicly documented as of yet. Investigators have not ruled out possible legal action from victims in the coming hours as more details emerge.
Many of the artists who performed in Candás addressed the incident on their social networks, expressing concern about the events. Allegations circulated that chemical administration occurred during the event and that the facts were subsequently disclosed publicly, prompting a broader discussion among attendees and organizers.
