The suspect in the attack on his parents in the municipality of Marinha Grande was prohibited from approaching the victims, the Leiria district command of the PSP reported.
According to a press release, on Monday the PSP proceeded to arrest at the scene of a crime a 36-year-old man for crimes against qualified physical integrity in Marinha Grande (Leiria district).
“At 4:30 p.m., Marinha Grande volunteer firefighters, who were already at the scene, called the police after receiving reports that a very aggressive citizen had attacked his 60-year-old mother,” a statement released today said.
Five minutes later, agents determined that “one of the firefighters attempted to subdue the man to stop the attack on his mother.”
