Three men were injured on Monday afternoon when two parcel vans were attacked by a stone in Aboboda, Sao Domingos de Rana, municipality of Cascais. A mobile phone and other computer equipment were stolen. There were about two dozen robbers. PSP has accepted responsibility for the incident and is investigating.
According to what the victims told PSP, CMThe van in front had to brake and stop because a man, about 1.80 m tall, dressed in dark clothing, threw a stone from the pavement, which hit the windshield. Two occupants of the car, aged 20 and 24, got out to defend themselves and became involved in the attack on the assailant, who used more stones from the pavement. At this time, about two dozen men came to help the attacker, which is why two men fled into the store, where they took refuge.
Two passengers in the second van from another company, who were following, tried to help the victims and also became the target of the attackers’ rage. They were also attacked and eventually fled. One of them, 26 years old, was hit on the elbow with a stone.
The two men in the first car suffered bruises on their arms (a 20-year-old man) and cuts on their elbows (a 24-year-old man).
Both vehicles were so badly damaged that they had to be towed because they were not in a safe condition to drive.
