A young man is beaten in Vitoria by municipal police officers for trying to flee the electric scooter
  • It happened on Monday, with the accusation that Aimar, 16, had passed a zebra crossing over the electric scooter. The agents of Vitoria promised him to stay and the young man tried to escape. He pursued for a few minutes in the Zabalgana neighborhood, but was eventually captured. At the time of arrest, when the young man turned over, he was knocked down, beaten with his knees and cuffs, and the young man broke his nose. The agents informed the family of the fall. But a neighbor videotaped it and it doesn't look there. The family reports in court. The Municipal Police of Vitoria has told ARGIA that they "can't say anything".

The journalist of Gasteiz Hoy, Natxo Gatón, has released the event after talking to his family.

What happened? The local police in Vitoria ordered a young man to stop and he escaped. It crossed a zebra step without descending from the electric scooter and circulated on the sidewalk, at that time. The patrol left behind him and the young man escaped for a few minutes.

In the end, seeing that he had no getaway, he stopped the scooter and came down on his own when he saw that he had been caught. The agents who came behind, at the time, beat him. They report that the agents caused punctures on the face and shocks with the elbow, as well as shocks with the knees on the thighs and testes. Txagorritxu's medical report contains broken nasal bones.

The young man says he's done wrong when he doesn't stop, but he got scared and ran away. “My son did it wrong because he did not stay on the orders of the agents, and that is why he deserved experience, not a beating,” his father said in Gasteiz Hoy.

The young man runs the risk of receiving a complaint for driving in a reckless and speedy way that crossed several streets and zebra steps. The young man's family has also reported to the Laguardia Court officers who participated in the police operation of the Zabalgana neighborhood on Monday.

ARGIA has contacted the Municipal Police of Vitoria-Gasteiz to ask them about their version and tell them that the young man had fallen these wounds, as a libel video. The municipal police indicate that they cannot say anything because the young person is under age. The Municipal Guard asks whether action has been taken against these video agents, making it clear that it is an order not to say anything.

A neighbor recorded the following video and Vitoria published it today:
