Mallorca bar craft-knife threat: woman arrested

Mallorca: Police arrest a woman after she allegedly threatens a bar owner and a relative with a craft knife in La Vileta, a neighbourhood of Palma, on Monday afternoon. The owner calls police after she throws glasses around the bar, causing damage.

The woman had been drinking other customers’ beers and claiming to be a police officer, according to Spain’s National Police. When she asks for shots, the owner refuses to serve her because of her behaviour. Police say she insults him, brandishes the knife and threatens to stab him and his relative and kill everyone.

A patrol arrives within minutes. Police say the woman hides the knife and tells officers that the people running the bar attacked her. During a search, officers find the knife and an electronic device that may have been stolen. She tells them she had been admitted to a hospital in Palma and decided to take the device.

The bar’s owners give officers their account and say cameras in the premises back it up. Police arrest the woman on suspicion of making serious threats.
