Police in Pas de la Casa detained a 42-year-old non-resident man early on 4 January after he caused a disturbance outside a nightclub, confronting the doorman who refused him entry and throwing a metal bar that struck a parked vehicle instead.
Officers responding to the scene found the man ignoring their instructions. He offered strong resistance and tried to assault them during restraint, leading to his arrest on suspicion of a crime against public authority. No one was injured in the incident. Authorities have not released the man's name or the nightclub's identity.
One day earlier, on 3 January, police in Andorra la Vella arrested a 34-year-old resident on charges of crimes against liberty and against honour. Officers were called to a central street where the man lay on the ground with a head injury from an apparent assault, showing signs of heavy intoxication and no memory of events.
He repeatedly refused medical help, displayed disrespectful behaviour toward police, and left the scene on his own. Minutes later, officers found him again lying nearby. During this second encounter, he acted disproportionately, threatening and insulting the agents, prompting his detention.
