In Lugo, a 40-year-old man faced arrest after an altercation with his wife late Monday night, around 11:35 p.m., on Avenida de As Américas. Police reports describe a tense disagreement that escalated when he grabbed his wife with force, pressed her against a wall, and then left the scene. Neighbors would later recount hearing loud arguing before witnesses intervened and the tension began to unravel, prompting calls to local authorities.
Witnesses and residents quickly condemned the incident as distressing, and both women involved in the dispute reported the situation to the police. Law enforcement officers spoke with the attack survivor, who appeared distressed and tearful, conveying the emotional strain she had endured in the wake of the confrontation.
According to the survivor, the argument had started minutes earlier when the couple disagreed about returning home. Those nearby described a moment when the husband seized his wife and shook her as bystanders and neighbors gathered at the scene to offer support and witness the unfolding events. The authorities subsequently identified the suspected aggressor, who, after acknowledging the dispute with his wife, remained firm that the couple had merely been arguing. Based on the information gathered, officers proceeded to detain him and secure him in custody as the legal process moves forward with court proceedings to follow.
double punishment
In a separate incident later the same day, another man received penalties for alleged identity documentation violations and for what authorities described as disrespect toward police officers. The events took place around 4:15 p.m. on Avenida de A Coruña in Lugo. Local authorities indicated that the individual was intoxicated at the time and attempted to start a motorcycle while the situation was being assessed.
The arrestee reportedly could not present valid documentation when questioned by officers, and he provided information that was inconsistent with official records. The encounter escalated as he allegedly directed disrespectful comments toward the officers who were trying to establish the facts of the case. During the subsequent procedures, the gendarmerie took the individual to the police station to complete the necessary formalities, and a formal complaint was anticipated to be filed in connection with the alleged infractions. The case underscores the seriousness with which local law enforcement treats domestic violence, as well as violations of the Citizen Security Act, and highlights the steps taken to verify identities and ensure officer safety in tense encounters.
