SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 11 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
A police officer from Santa Cruz de Tenerife apprehended a 17-year-old male on Tuesday following an assault on his former partner at the Transport Interchange facilities in the capital of Tenerife.
The individual managed to evade the security personnel, but was ultimately intercepted by the Santa Cruz police on Avenida Constitución, in proximity to the Adán Martín Tenerife Auditorium.
The event occurred at approximately 10:15 a.m. when a 17-year-old girl notified the security personnel that her ex-partner had just attacked her, with several witnesses present throughout the incident.
Initially, the security staff detained the individual and alerted the local police to investigate the situation.
Nevertheless, the apprehended male succeeded in fleeing the scene, and while efforts were made to ascertain his location, local officers took responsibility for the initial support of the victim and advised her of her rights regarding this potential case of gender violence.
They even accompanied her to the National Police headquarters to lodge the necessary complaint, where she was assisted by the Family and Women’s Care Unit (UFAM).
The young male, who was eventually detained, confessed to the authorities about the incident and was transported to a medical facility before being handed over to the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office.
