Dramatic Scene Unfolds in Lisbon Hostel
A 40-year-old man fell from the balcony of a hostel in Lisbon, from a height of approximately 3 meters, while he was strangling and attempting to push his 40-year-old partner out of the window of their room.
Police Response and Witness Accounts
Agents from the 1st Division of the PSP in Lisbon were called to the Arroios area at 1:10 PM on Friday. Upon arrival, officers found a man being restrained by witnesses and gathered statements that confirmed he had just fallen from the hostel's balcony.
Details of the Attack and Escape Attempt
The man was choking his partner and trying to shove her off the balcony. A hostel employee managed to help the victim escape the assault, causing the aggressor to lose his balance. The suspect hit an awning before falling to the ground. Despite this, he got up and fled but was intercepted by witnesses.
Legal Proceedings and Victim's Fear
Although the victim of the assaults did not cooperate with the PSP, citing fear of reprisals, officers collected sufficient evidence for the detained individual to be held in preventive custody after being presented to the court.
