The Mossos d'Esquadra police force apprehended a 26-year-old man in Girona after he allegedly delivered a brutal beating to a homeless individual, who was subsequently taken to the Josep Trueta hospital in critical condition. The incident occurred early Sunday morning when a neighbor reported seeing a man violently hitting another person in the head on the street. Upon arrival, police found the aggressor attempting to flee the scene, hinting at his attempt to evade responsibility for the violent act.

As the officers approached, the suspect not only resisted arrest but also attempted to assault the police, illustrating the volatile situation. The police successfully apprehended him, charging him with the assault against the homeless victim and an attack on law enforcement authorities. The swift response from the community member who reported the assault was crucial in preventing further harm and ensuring the police were alerted promptly.

The homeless victim, who had initially tried to escape the assault, remains in critical condition in the hospital. Fortunately, the police officers involved were unharmed despite the direct aggression from the suspect, highlighting both the risks law enforcement faces in such encounters and the ongoing issue of homelessness and violence in urban areas like Girona.
