Police were called to a violent disturbance on Calle Mayor in La Unión after a high-end vehicle stopped in the middle of the road on Saturday evening. Several men got out and went to a nearby property, before a confrontation broke out moments later.

Witnesses described scenes of chaos, with shouting, chases and physical assaults between two groups, including threats made with knives. The most dangerous moment came when another man threw a piece of furniture from a flat window onto the street, although no one was struck.

Two Local Police patrols arrived quickly and managed to bring the situation under control, despite continued tension and threats between those involved. A Guardia Civil patrol later took charge of the investigation.

Police have confirmed that seven people were identified at the scene. Officers seized three knives and recorded injuries to two individuals, one to the face and another to a hand. Damage was also caused to a vehicle and a mobile phone. Investigators believe the fight may have started over a dispute linked to small-scale drug dealing.
