Three Arrests in Andorra: Nightclub Brawl, Drunk Threats, Guard Fight

Police in Pas de la Casa arrested a 42-year-old non-resident man early on Sunday, 4 January, after he caused a disturbance outside a nightclub. The man confronted the doorman who denied him entry and threw a metal bar at him, which instead struck a nearby parked vehicle.

When officers arrived and tried to intervene, he ignored their orders, resisted strongly and attempted to assault them, leading to his detention on suspicion of a crime against public authority. No injuries were reported from the incident. Police have not named the man or the nightclub.

Separately, on Saturday, 3 January, officers in Andorra la Vella detained a 34-year-old local resident on charges of crimes against liberty and against honour. Police responded to reports of the man lying on a central street with a head injury from an apparent assault, showing heavy intoxication and no recollection of events.

He rejected medical assistance several times, behaved disrespectfully toward officers and walked away from the scene. Shortly afterward, they found him lying down again nearby. During this second intervention, he acted aggressively, threatening and insulting the agents, which prompted his arrest.

In an unrelated incident at the same nightclub venue in Pas de la Casa, two security guards clashed in the early hours of Tuesday following a dispute over one guard's treatment of a female customer. Tensions had been building between them for days.

One guard criticised the other's rude behaviour toward the client and tried to punch him first, according to sources. The second guard dodged the blow, countered forcefully and knocked out two of his colleague's teeth, exploiting a significant size difference between them.

Police arrested the second guard early Tuesday morning. He appeared before a judge that afternoon and was released after a swift conviction for assault. Sources indicate private footage may have captured the altercation.
