Two arrested for sexual assault and the theft of a scooter from a young woman in Palma
The incident occurred in the well-known Wifi Park, where the victim was cornered and subjected to groping. Her vehicle, which she was using to return home, was also stolen.
PalmThe National Police have arrested two young men, ten days apart, as the alleged perpetrators of a sexual assault and robbery with violence against a young woman in the park known as Wifi Park in Palma. After appearing before a judge, both were ordered to be held in custody. The incident occurred last November when the victim was returning home on her electric scooter. According to the complaint filed, a group of young men approached her, surrounded her, and forced her to stop in the park. At that moment, one of the assailants violently pushed her against a parked vehicle, while another held her head and hands tightly to prevent her from escaping. With the young woman immobilized and under intimidation, two members of the group touched her intimately, constituting a sexual assault. The victim told officers from the Family and Women's Unit (UFAM) that during the attack she feared for her life and physical safety. Finally, after calling for help, the assailants fled the scene, taking the scooter the young woman had been using. She was left lying on the sidewalk. The police investigation identified two of the alleged perpetrators, and arrest warrants were issued for them. The first was arrested at Palma train station, while the second was located days later by officers from the Operational Response Group near the Son Gotleu neighborhood. The National Police are continuing their investigation and do not rule out further arrests in connection with these events.
