An off-duty Civil Guard officer was assaulted early Sunday morning in Ceuta, after being approached by five illegal immigrants near a gas station. The incident occurred around 4:30 AM on Cañonero Dato Avenue.
According to the information provided, the officer was walking in the area of the Carranza gas station when the five illegal immigrants asked him for money. When he refused, they attempted to rob him, and the Civil Guard officer resisted. The assailants responded with several punches to the face and kicks to various parts of the body before fleeing the scene.
The officer managed to report what happened, and the National Police immediately launched a search operation. The Civil Guard officer himself assisted the agents in identifying the area where the attackers might have taken refuge.
Minutes later, the five suspects were located hiding in some stairs connecting the roundabout of Avenida de España with the neighborhood Junta de Obras del Puerto. Upon noticing the police presence, the five immigrants attempted to escape on foot and physically resisted during the intervention.
