A handwritten note on a paper napkin saved a pregnant and abused woman who was locked up by her partner in an apartment in Carabanchel.
A neighbor who was walking down the street saw the SOS fall to the ground
and when he looked up he saw the woman leaning out of the first floor window.
He immediately notified the National Police.
In the letter he could read: "Please call the police, he wants to kill me, he has been beating me all night."
The police were able to free the victim,
a 44-year-old Peruvian woman with six months of gestation,
who had been locked up in a room of the house on the first floor of number 32 San Deogracias street for at least a day, according to the Higher Headquarters of the Madrid Police.
The officers of the Carabanchel police station arrested the alleged aggressor when he tried to escape through the backyard of the farm.
The arrested man is a 41-year-old man, of Spanish nationality,
with a history of mistreatment of a previous partner.
He is the father of the baby the woman was expecting.
The arrest took place early in the morning of last Thursday, when the Police mobilized for this new case of abuse.
Around 6:50 a.m., 091 received a call where a citizen alerted that he had seen a woman throw a handwritten note out of the window asking for help.
When they arrived at the scene, the police officers interviewed
the citizen who showed them the note written by the woman's hand on the
paper
napkin
that said: "Please call the police, he wants to kill me, a man has been beating me all night" .
Several patrol cars came to the street at that time.
Four officers went up to the first floor where they could perfectly hear how the woman shouted: "Don't hit me, don't hit me more please."
The agents rang the bell on several occasions and since no one would open, they
used a ram to break down the door.
At that moment, the alleged assailant jumped out of the kitchen window onto the outside patio.
The agents entered the garage of the house and managed to arrest him.
At the time of his arrest, the attacker beat and injured several of the policemen.
Subsequently, the woman stated that her partner had her locked up in the house and that he had taken her mobile phone, leaving her incommunicado.
Although she had been locked up for 24 hours, she had suffered ill-treatment for several weeks.
That night, the victim said, her partner kicked and punched her, including in the belly, and tried to suffocate her several times.
Marijuana and cartridges
The agents found in the house numerous doses of narcotic substances (marijuana), as well as supplies for the sale of the same and several boxes of cartridges from a firearm.
For all this, the 41-year-old Spanish man, Antonio PD, was detained as allegedly responsible for a crime against public health, illegal detention, mistreatment and attack against an agent of the authority.
The victim was taken to a hospital in the capital where he was admitted.
He had not reported his partner, whom he had met a year ago.
The woman, who has another child, spent time with Antonio even though he did not live in the house
.
The neighbors say that they did not know the woman and that the day before they were surprised by some blows they heard inside the house.
The detainee's father went to his son's home yesterday morning.
He had not heard from him for a day and had not shown up for work,
which prompted him to go, alerted, to the house where the event had occurred.
