National Police activity in Vigo

Overview

Recent reports from Vigo highlight various activities involving the National Police. In one legal matter, a judge acquitted an officer of minor injury charges, ruling that the use of force to handcle an individual refusing identification was justified under the Penal Code as a legitimate exercise of duty.

In a separate incident, two off-duty officers from the Vigo-Redondela station intervened to save a man from cardiac arrest. The officers performed resuscitation maneuvers and retrieved an automated external defibrillator, working with nearby medical professionals to restore the man’s pulse.
