Two men arrested following daylight brawl in Playa Blanca

Two men aged 24 and 50 have been arrested following a fight in broad daylight on Avenida de Papagayo in Playa Blanca.

Guardia Civil officers in Yaiza arrested both men after investigating the incident alongside Yaiza Local Police.

The fight took place on 1st November, but police were not contacted until the following day, when the 50-year-old man, reported that he had been assaulted.

He told officers that the fight started after the younger man, allegedly tried to steal from a nightclub he owned.

According to La Voz, video footage submitted to the Guardia Civil shows the older man driving along the Avenida de Papagayo before spotting the 24-year-old. He stops his car in the middle of the road and gets out.

“I’ll take the law into my own hands,” the 50-year-old says before the two men start fighting.

The footage shows the 50-year-old falling to the ground while the younger man punches him several times in the head.

Both men have been arrested on suspicion of causing minor bodily harm. The 50-year-old has also been charged with making threats.
