A fall in Sants ended with a man inside a neighbour’s flat
Sandra’s two daughters took refuge in a room while the man who had fallen into the courtyard of a Japanese restaurant entered their flat. The Mossos d’Esquadra are investigating the case.
Entry through a window that wasn’t fully closed caused damage in a home on d’Olzinelles street
Sandra’s two daughters ended up taking refuge in a room with a lock while their mother shouted for help. The man who had entered the flat destroyed part of the furniture and tried to block the way, although, according to the neighbour, he did not try to attack them.
A loud noise just before eleven
The events took place on Friday night on d’Olzinelles street, near plaça de Bonet i Moixí. A few minutes before eleven, Sandra was in bed talking with her two daughters when she heard a loud bang in the inner courtyard. Several neighbours looked out when they heard it; at first, they thought a large object or an air conditioning unit had fallen.
Workers at a Japanese restaurant saw that a man had fallen into the restaurant’s courtyard after breaking through a fibreglass cover. The impact dented one of the appliances.
He entered through a sliding window
After the fall, the man jumped into the ground floor courtyard, where Sandra lives. She locked the access doors, but he managed to get in through a sliding window that wasn’t completely closed. As he came in, he broke much of the clothesline.
Once inside, he threw around furniture and appliances, as well as clothes and utensils. Sandra said he seemed to be trying to barricade himself and make it difficult to pass. While she called for help, her daughters sheltered in a room that could be locked.
The neighbour tried to get him to leave: she opened the door to let him out and he closed it again, repeating that he didn’t want to go. Sandra said he looked very frightened and that she didn’t know where he had come from or why he was running. The Mossos d’Esquadra have confirmed that no officer was chasing him and say they still don’t know the reason for his behaviour.
Treated on Finlàndia street
After a few tense minutes, the man escaped again through the inner courtyards and reached Finlàndia street. There, he was treated by medical staff, as Infobarris los Serveis d’Emergències Mèdiques (SEM) confirmed, and was later taken to hospital.
The Mossos d’Esquadra are investigating the man for an alleged offence of unlawful entry, without intent to occupy.
