The perpetrators of the aggression recorded on video in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which the Police and the Civil Guard have been looking for since this weekend, paid five euros to their victim to be allowed to hit, as reported by the assaulted on the Canary Radio , which has located it.

The Civil Guard last night broadcast the video of the aggression on Twitter, to ask Internet users to help locate the perpetrators of those events, which they considered a savage.

The images, the investigation of which the Police has taken over, because the events occurred in the capital of Gran Canaria, under its competence, show how a young man looks at someone who is recording him smiling, when he is shot down in the face.

When he collapses, the young man bangs his head against a stone bench and is lying on the ground. The images have spread throughout the country on Monday due to its brutality.

An RTVC team has located its protagonist, Pedro, a 34-year-old man who sleeps on the street and usually frequents the place where the events occurred, the Plaza de Santo Domingo, in Vegueta , the historic neighborhood of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

"They told me that if I wanted five euros in exchange for a slap and they paid me," says the victim.

Pedro has told the regional network that the events occurred a month ago , although they have come to light this weekend because a citizen received the video by WhatsApp and decided to publish it on Twitter for the security forces to see.

The video ends just when the victim is lying on the ground, so everyone who sees it wonders what happened to it, since the blow that is taken against the stone bench is important.

The protagonist of the images says that he was unconscious and that when he woke up, he did not remember anything . He also says he does not intend to denounce those who beat him, because, he argues, he agreed to be slapped.
