He then calmly walked away from the place. He carried the gun in one hand and a dog on a leash in the other. Agents of the Local Police had to reduce him to be able to stop him. “He throws the knife!” They told him. To which the assailant replied no. He put up a great resistance. Several witnesses witnessed the scene. The assailant is well known in the neighborhood. “He is an apparently normal person. He spends all day walking the dog around here. It is clear that he is not well. Around here they say that he is schizophrenic,” says a neighbor. The man resides with his mother. He also has a sister. “I’ve been shocked. He’s very kind and polite, although he looks like a homeless man. He talks and walks badly. I don’t know if he had a stroke or something like that and he’s had sequels. He helps open the portal door to people and says hello everyone. I coincided with my mother taking the dog out. She told her that she was feeling bad and that she was asking for help from the psychiatrist but they didn’t give it to her. I thought she must have depression. You can’t care so much when caring for a person” , they relate The main hypothesis that the National Police is considering is that he suffered a psychotic outbreak or a transitory disorder. He had no history and was not taking any medication. The titular magistrate of the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 5 of Avilés, acting as a guard, has ordered his entry into provisional prison, communicated and without bail. At the moment, the San Agustín de Avilés University Hospital (HUSA) remains under observation, where doctors must assess their condition. “Many times these patients do not remember what they have done when they regain their lucidity,” said the Chief Commissioner of the National Police Alexander Valverde. On Monday he will go to court to determine if he finally enters the Villabona Penitentiary Center or a specialized health center. The mayor of the city, Mariví Monteserín, has pointed out that it is a very specific event. “We live in a city that is very tolerant of people who have a mental problem or disability. Many of those people who have that type of vulnerability live with their families or in the community and nothing ever happens. We get to know them, we treat them, we talk to them with total normality,” he remarked. The victim was with a group of friends listening to music when the attacker began to threaten him. They had to give him 12 stitches. His knife almost caught her in the jugular. He also ripped open the sweatshirt he was wearing even though he was able to return home to sleep.
