The incident in Oviedo involved a 56-year-old woman identified by the initials MTGC. She was arrested by National Police agents on a Wednesday afternoon in the city’s central district after attempting to seize two small children in separate moments. The case has drawn attention because the woman had previously been seen in public causing disturbances, including throwing flower pots from a home in the city center. Authorities have indicated that there are psychiatric concerns involved, which may contribute to violent acts or attempts to abduct minors. This briefing is based on multiple eyewitness accounts and official statements from local law enforcement. [Source: Oviedo Police Department]
In both episodes, mothers reacted with alarm as a stranger moved toward their children. The events occurred along Uría Street and Gil de Jaz Street, busy avenues where passersby witnessed the frightening behavior. In the first attempt, the child was approximately four years old, and the mother managed to intervene and prevent a kidnapping. The ensuing sense of panic among nearby residents underscores the vulnerability of young children in crowded urban settings. [Source: Local Eyewitness Reports]
According to a witness who spoke to reporters at the scene, around 15:50 the woman approached a baby carriage while the mother stood nearby talking to acquaintances. MTGC lifted the hood of the stroller and reached inside, intending to lift the infant from the carriage. The mother cried out and others in the vicinity rushed to assist, restraining the woman and ensuring the baby was safe. Police were alerted immediately, and officers arrived to take control of the situation. [Source: Eyewitness Interview]
As the officers moved in, the suspect attempted to flee down Gil de Jaz Street. A Rapid Police response led to the apprehension of MTGC, who was subdued by one of the officers and placed in custody for transport to the local police station for further processing. The scene drew the attention of numerous bystanders who described the tense moment when the officers restrained the suspect and escorted her to a patrol car. [Source: Officer On-Scene Report]
Early coverage suggests this is not the first time the individual has been involved in public-order incidents. Both National Police and the Oviedo Local Police have reportedly intervened in past episodes to prevent harm to others and to protect the person involved from potential self-harm. Following this event, the individual was transferred to the psychiatry department at HUCA for assessment and care as indicated by initial conveyance notes. The ongoing investigation will determine mental health considerations, legal ramifications, and any patterns that may inform future public-safety measures.
