Police in Andorra arrested a man in his fifties last night on suspicion of domestic abuse after an argument with his wife escalated into an alleged physical altercation.
The incident began with a heated marital dispute that reportedly turned physical during a struggle, according to police sources. The man, described as physically stronger, is accused of assaulting his spouse, leaving her with a minor mark that officers observed upon arrival. A patrol responded to the call at the couple's home and deemed the evidence sufficient to make the arrest for a domestic maltreatment offence.
The pair have been married for more than 25 years. Once processed, the suspect will appear before a judge, who will determine the exact legal classification—potentially domestic abuse or gender-based violence, depending on the case details. He is likely to be released pending a swift, conditional penalty.
No further details on the victim's condition have emerged, and the investigation remains open. Authorities have not released the location or additional circumstances.
