One of the attacks took place in the early morning of Sunday, November 25, on the route between Atxuri and Santutxu. The aggressor began to chase the woman, who was thrown with pepper gas, and threw her to the ground after a discussion. The aggressor managed to get rid of his aggressor and filed a complaint, after which he was taken to the hospital for a medical review.

The Feminist Group of Santutxu, Akelarre, has denounced in the repulsive rally called on Monday that “once again from the institutions the ways have not been taken care of, paying attention to the aggression instead of the individual who has been attacked”. They have reported that at the time of the complaint, the aggression has been considered a theft and not a sexual assault. “The Ertzainas always asked him if the aggressor had touched his genitals,” the feminist group said.

On the same Sunday there was a new aggression in the town of Ibarrekolanda, which was also arrested. A 39-year-old man locked a woman in a Biscayan locality after having paid sexual intercourse and no police history. The Ertzaintza received a call from a friend of the woman, who reported what was going on in the vehicle. The officers were on the spot and arrested the male, charged with a crime of coercion.

The third aggression took place on the same day on Calle Mayor de la Ciudad, in Barakaldo. The aggressor assaulted the woman with whom she maintained a sentimental relationship, according to the same source. Several witnesses alerted the Municipal Police of Bilbao to what had happened, officers moved to the site and the man was arrested.
