A 24-year-old man was arrested in Muravera on charges of domestic abuse.
A patrol from the Highway Police Detachment was engaged in routine road surveillance on the 125 Var when they received a call for help from a bus driver who was in distress due to the disruptive conduct of a passenger, who was smoking in the vehicle and ignoring his calls.
The officers, after having the man, who was undocumented, get out of the car and escorted him home, where they identified him and reported him for disrupting a public service . During the check, the officers discovered a serious case of domestic violence against the elderly mother who lived with him and who had never reported the abuse for fear of retaliation.
As soon as they left, the 24-year-old, armed with a knife, began destroying the home's furniture . Quickly subdued and disarmed, he was arrested red-handed for mistreatment of family members or cohabitants. A knife, a crossbow, and three arrows were seized.
The arrest was subsequently validated by the judicial authorities, who ordered the precautionary measure of removal from the family home.
