• Interior: Investigate three sexual assaults and a homophobic attack during the festival of Sant Joan

The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested two people, one of them a minor, for the homophobic attack suffered by a homosexual couple when they were sitting on a bench in a street in Sant Adrià del Besòs, the festival of Sant Joan. The suspects allegedly approached the victims from behind and beat them with a glass bottle in addition to insulting them for their sexual condition. Days after the assault, the defendants turned themselves in to the police with their lawyer, after learning that they were looking for them.

During the festival, the couple was sitting on a bench when two people approached them from behind and insulted them in addition to assaulting them with a glass bottle and kicking them. One of the victims ran away to her house in Barcelona and from there she notified the police. An ambulance took them to the Hospital del Mar where they were treated for the bruises they suffered, such as an open wound on the lip that required stitches.

The Mossos began the investigation to identify and locate the attackers, and thanks to video surveillance cameras from a nearby location, they were able to determine the identity of the suspects. However, when they learned that the police were looking for them, the accused went to the police station to turn themselves in. There they were detained for a crime of injuries with the aggravating factor of hate and discrimination based on sexual orientation.
