Elche Local Police arrested a 46-year-old man who allegedly attacked his 78-year-old mother and threatened his sisters with a knife. Local officers had recently warned that a woman had been assaulted by her son. A patrol responded to the report and found the elderly woman and her two frightened daughters at the doorway, shaken by the incident.
According to the victims, the brothers pushed their mother to the ground, struck her repeatedly on the back, and were present during the assault. They also threatened them with a knife, creating a dangerous situation inside the home. The tension and fear were evident as police arrived, and the family described ongoing aggression that had not been fully resolved by previous protections.
Members of the Elche Local Police Information
It appeared that the abuse was continuous, and the mother bore the brunt of the alleged violence. A restraining order that might have offered protection was not in effect at that moment, complicating the safety concerns for the family.
Escaped
While investigators gathered information about the individual involved, a neighbor who had left the scene reported that the man fled toward a nearby park upon noticing police presence. This detail helped guide officers in their search.
One patrol officer located the suspect a street up, and he was arrested and transported to the police station for processing.
