A 34-year-old man caused panic this Sunday in the Bilbao neighborhood of Santutxu, after barricading himself in the barbershop he runs and threatening to kill a woman with a machete, as well as several Ertzaintza agents. The man remained entrenched for more than two hours, ignoring the negotiators, although he finally agreed to give up his attitude and was arrested. A small arsenal of white weapons was seized from the man: a machete, knives, a radial, a shear, a cane with a metal tip or a baseball bat.
The alarm was unleashed around half past six in the afternoon yesterday, when a woman requested police presence in the Santutxu neighborhood in Bilbao because a man was following her and making death threats against her.
A police force that was carrying out surveillance work in the area immediately went to the scene and upon arrival the suspect entered a commercial establishment in the area, which he apparently runs, threatening the patrols from inside with a katana and other weapons. white.
The Ertzaintza then mobilized a negotiating team, which finally managed to get him to give up his attitude and go abroad around nine o'clock. Immediately afterwards, he was arrested as the alleged perpetrator of two crimes of threatening the complaining woman and attacking law enforcement officers. It is inside the premises where he had remained entrenched that his weapons were seized.
The arrested man had been arrested that same morning and brought to justice for his involvement in a robbery with violence.
