A civil guard out of service aborted on October 31 a fight between Latin gangs inside a subway car that circulated between Pacific and Nueva Numancia on line 1 of the suburban. Thanks to his action, he also arrested one of those involved who was carrying a large machete with which he threatened other gang members of a rival gang.
