On the 5th of this month, the Guardia Civil of Albox in collaboration with the Local Police, helped two people inside a house located in this municipality who were threatened by a third person.
The Guardia Civil’s Communications Centre (062) of the Almeria Command received a report that a woman was barricaded inside her home and was threatening to self-harm and assault two family members.
The patrol on duty went to the scene as soon as possible and from outside the house they heard the screams of one of the victims asking for help and fearing for the physical integrity of the people there.
After meeting with other family members, who were outside the house, the officers entered the house. Faced with the threatening attitude of the perpetrator, with the help of a protective shield, the officers disarmed and reduced her.
The action resulted in a local police officer being slightly injured and the patient being taken to hospital.
