Local police in Cartagena, Murcia, have opened investigations into injuries suffered during two separate brawls that took place in betting shops over the weekend. The first altercation occurred on Sunday morning when officers on patrol responded to shouts inside a betting shop. They found two men who had mutually assaulted each other following a heated argument. One man sustained minor injuries to his eyebrow but refused medical assistance.

The second incident took place early Monday morning, when emergency services were alerted to a large fight at another betting shop in La Palma, involving approximately ten to fifteen people. Upon arrival, police found two injured men inside the premises, one of whom was unconscious. Both were taken to the hospital after receiving medical attention.

Witnesses at the betting shop reported that the injured men had attacked a third individual, who subsequently called family members for help. That family arrived armed with batons and assaulted the two men before leaving the scene in vehicles. The suspects are reportedly members of a well-known local family, and the Guardia Civil is currently investigating the incidents.

In another event, local police arrested a man on Thursday morning, suspected of committing robbery with intimidation on Paseo Alfonso XIII. According to reports, a victim called emergency services, claiming he had been threatened with a knife by an assailant who stole his money. Officers located the suspect nearby based on the victim’s description and arrested him, recovering the stolen money.
