Police intervened at a thermal spa in Escaldes-Engordany on Tuesday afternoon after a 14-year-old boy allegedly groped a girl, prompting her partner to slap him.
The incident occurred around 5:45pm, when staff at the centre termal alerted authorities to prevent escalation. The boy, who appeared older than his age, touched the girl's buttocks, leading to the immediate reaction from her partner. All parties involved were tourists.
Officers arrived promptly and de-escalated the situation. Upon learning the boy was a minor, the partner—who had delivered the slap—chose not to press charges. The other parties also declined to pursue complaints, and no further conflict arose.
Despite the resolution on site, police classified the partner's action as a minor criminal offence, or "falta" under Andorran law. The individual may face a summons from judicial authorities at a later date.
No injuries were reported, and the spa staff successfully contained the disturbance before it worsened.
