He entered the family home even though he had a restraining order against his partner and, when he realized the police presence, he used his baby as a "shield" and barricaded himself in a room. The little boy, whose age has not been revealed, received several blows and is now being treated at the Virgen Macarena Hospital for observation and evaluation of possible injuries.
The man was arrested today by National Police agents after half an hour of negotiations and the judge who took charge of the matter has ordered his immediate imprisonment.
The arrested man found himself cornered in a central Sevillian street. He tried to get away from the officers by throwing all kinds of objects at them and turning on taps, but nothing was working until, finally, he took the baby by one arm to use it "as a shield," according to the Police. The infant received "accidental blows due to the constant fussing that his father made."
Given this attitude and to ensure the integrity of the child, the agents entered the home and went to the room where the detainee was locked up with his son, although previously they had to calm the mother, who was suffering from an episode of anxiety. .
After half an hour of negotiation, the detainee, who broke several pieces of furniture and a door with the minor in his arms, agreed to leave the room in which he had locked himself with the baby, an infant whose age has not been specified.
The man handed the child to the mother, abandoned his attitude and accompanied the agents who took him to the police station as a detainee.
The health services that were required to examine the baby determined his transfer to the Virgen Macarena Hospital for observation and evaluation for possible injuries. EFE
