In the city of Presidencia Roque Sáenz Peña, a man was detained after allegedly assaulting a 16‑year‑old girl with an iron rod in a public area. The victim sustained minor injuries and sought refuge in a nearby house. Police halted the suspect as he attempted to flee by scaling a wall, and he was taken into custody and placed at a local police station.

In Necochea, a 32‑year‑old man was arrested after being accused of physically attacking his partner with a scarf in their home, an incident witnessed by their two children, ages five and seven. The woman suffered mild neck and facial injuries but declined medical treatment. Officers arrived following a 911 call, arrested the suspect in the yard, and detained him at the city’s first police station pending further investigation.
