After a night of drinking, four men were involved in two separate early‑morning assaults — one with a metal
bar and another involving forced entry — and all were detained.
Key Points
- First incident at ~4 a.m. on Prat de la Creu: a man struck a colleague with a metal bar, causing a bleeding facial wound; attacker arrested at the scene.
- Hours later two men forced entry into a colleague’s home and assaulted him; the victim was taken to Nostra Senyora de Meritxell hospital and had brandished a large kitchen knife in self‑defence.
- All four residents (ages 27, 36, 39, 40) were detained — the 27‑year‑old at the scene, the others later — and are under investigation.
- Two suspects also face accusations relating to violations of privacy and the inviolability of the home; inquiries continue into motives and whether the metal strike targeted the head.
Four colleagues who had been out drinking were involved in two separate violent incidents in Andorra la Vella in the early hours of Sunday, police said.
The first confrontation occurred at about 4 a.m. on Prat de la Creu, near the night bus stop by the casino and Parc Central. According to witnesses and police, an argument among the group split them into two pairs. One man picked up a metal bar from a nearby construction site and struck a colleague, hitting the upper part of the victim’s body and grazing the side of his face, causing a bleeding wound. Emergency medical services attended the scene and the attacker was arrested at the location.
Hours later the same group was linked to a second incident. Two of the men went to the home of a third, forced entry and assaulted him; the victim sustained injuries that required transfer to Nostra Senyora de Meritxell hospital. Police reported that during that altercation the injured man brandished a large kitchen knife in an attempt to defend himself.
All four men — residents aged 27, 36, 39 and 40 — were detained on Sunday. The 27‑year‑old was arrested during the night after the street altercation; the other three were detained later in the day. They are under investigation for alleged crimes against bodily and moral integrity, and two of them also face accusations related to violations of privacy and the inviolability of the home.
Authorities said investigations are ongoing to determine the motives, the precise circumstances of the injuries and whether the metal strike was aimed at the victim’s head.
