Mallorca: Woman held over chain attack and death threats

Mallorca: Police arrest a woman for the second time in days after a man says she attacked him with a chain and threatened to kill him in La Vileta, Palma, on Sunday. He has a cut lower lip and scratches on his face. Another neighbour who tried to help was struck on the left cheekbone.

Several calls about an argument between two women brought the National Police to the neighbourhood. Witnesses said one woman stood in the road shouting death threats at neighbours. Officers found her acting aggressively.

The injured man told officers a neighbour had called to warn him that the woman was damaging his car. When he asked her to stop, he said, she turned and hit him with a chain. Officers found damage to the front and back of the car, scratches along one side and a damaged bin beside it.

Days earlier, the woman had entered a bar in La Vileta, claimed to be a police officer and shouted, “I’ll kill you all.” After Sunday’s arrest, police took her for medical care. She had several injuries, including an open wound of about eight centimetres on her left elbow, and was carrying the chain police believe was used in the attack. She is suspected of making threats, causing injuries and criminal damage.
