Two men were recently apprehended by the police in Benidorm for committing a crime. While on a routine patrol, undercover officers witnessed the two men robbing an elderly British man in broad daylight. The perpetrators were using a martial art stranglehold, commonly known as Mata leao, to render their victim unconscious and steal from him. This technique is becoming increasingly popular among violent street muggers, and it is called "lion killer" in Brazil.
The National Police, located at the provincial headquarters in Alicante, confirmed the arrest of the two suspects. According to their statement, the officers noticed the men assaulting the pensioner and immediately intervened. They saw the men pulling and hitting the victim before resorting to the chokehold to incapacitate him. Thankfully, the police were able to stop the attack and apprehend the suspects before they could escape.
The pensioner, unfortunately, suffered a cut to the head during the ordeal. He was promptly taken to a nearby medical center to receive treatment for his injuries. The police were also able to recover the man's wallet, which had been stolen by the perpetrators. The two suspects, both Spanish and aged 47 and 48, have a history of similar offenses and have been arrested before.
The suspects have been handed over to the judiciary and are currently awaiting their court appearance. It is not clear if they have already been presented in front of a judge or if they have been remanded in custody or released on bail. The police are continuing their investigation into the incident and are urging the public to remain vigilant in order to prevent and combat such crimes.
