### Police Arrest Man in Encamp After Attempted Officer Assault Near School Andorra police arrested a 53-year-old man Thursday afternoon in Encamp on charges of threats to human life, disruption of public service, damage to honour, and risks to public safety. The incident occurred while officers managed traffic on a closed street near a school during dismissal. The driver disregarded signals, entered the restricted area the wrong way, and blocked access. He became aggressive when told to move, insulted the officers, and twice attempted to strike one with his vehicle, hitting the agent with a wing mirror. He resisted arrest, requiring police to remove him from the car. His underage son, seated in the back, attacked officers and inflicted injuries. At headquarters, the man tested positive for drugs.

### Domestic Assault in Sant Julià de Lòria Police in Sant Julià de Lòria detained a 42-year-old man Wednesday afternoon for alleged physical and moral harm after he pushed his partner against a wall at their home, causing a head injury.

### Partner Assault Outside Andorra la Vella Nightclub Officers arrested a 33-year-old man early Sunday morning outside a nightclub near the kilometre zero roundabout in Andorra la Vella. Patrolling police on preventive duty witnessed him strike his partner during a public argument, leaving her with scratches. When agents intervened to stop him and assist the woman, he resisted violently, hitting several officers and causing minor injuries along with damage to a police vehicle. Multiple officers subdued him on the ground before transferring him to headquarters. He faces charges of offences against physical and moral integrity and against public function. Authorities placed him at the disposal of the duty magistrate. The woman has not filed a complaint.

### Sexual Liberty Offence at Pas de la Casa Police this week detained a 26-year-old man for an alleged sexual freedom violation after he grabbed a tourist by the neck and forcibly kissed her without consent inside a Pas de la Casa nightclub early Wednesday. She resisted near the restrooms, but he persisted until her friends stepped in. Responding officers acted immediately.

### Additional Traffic and Drug Arrests Police recently arrested six tourists on public health charges, including two men aged 27 and 36 at the Runer River border found with half an ecstasy pill and 3.3 grams of tusi, plus three others aged 32 at the Franco-Andorran border.
