The events occurred during the early hours of last Sunday in Porreres, a small and quiet town in the interior of Mallorca with 5,300 inhabitants.
According to the preliminary investigation, a group of adolescents beat up the person in charge of the Local Police in the municipality, Sebastià Mora, while he was off duty, and after he had reprimanded them for the attitude of harassment maintained with a girl from the town during a party held that same night.
The Civil Guard has assumed the investigation of the facts, as reported by the Europa Press agency.
The mayor, Xisca Mora, reported this morning that the alleged aggressors have been fully identified.
The incident, reported by Diario de Mallorca, took place at a private party of the local football club, the Unió Esportiva Porreres.
The party was an event at the beginning of the season with its members and players, and there were children and families there.
According to some versions collected by the local press, a group of six boys, some of them adults, would have been dedicating themselves to bothering some girls and abusing them.
The girls then notified the head of the Local Police, who was well known in the town and who was there at that time, off duty and with his own family.
Other sources allude to the fact that a fight broke out between groups and the police chief went to try to bring order.
It was then, when the municipal agent approached to draw their attention, that the aggressors responded by hitting and kicking him, throwing him to the ground.
Other partygoers ran to help the victim and the boys dispersed.
Later, the police chief went to his house with his family by car and found the group of boys waiting there to presumably threaten and intimidate him so that he would not report them.
Continuing with the story provided by the mayor, while they threatened and insulted him, they shook his car and threw a large stone at him, causing damage to the vehicle.
Seeing that she could not get through, the victim called the Civil Guard, and when they saw the patrol arrive, the boys left.
They later turned up again at the party, allegedly armed with sticks and stones and ready to "put up a fight."
They attacked several people who were collecting the material.
A girl was injured with a broken finger, as explained by the mayor.
These are young people who have grown up in the town and with presumable knowledge that the man they were attacking was the head of the Local Police, since he has participated in school activities, according to Xisca Mora.
The boys were identified and a file has been opened, but so far they have not been arrested.
The mayor has advanced that the City Council will appear as a private prosecution in the court case for this serious attack on the municipal police chief.
She considers that "a red line" has been crossed and has regretted that Porreres suffers incidents like this.
"We are a town where everyone is welcome and there has always been good coexistence," she said.
