In Tenerife, a man with a knife threatened a neighbor and the police; he was detained with a stun gun.
In Tenerife, police arrested a man with a knife who threatened a neighbor and law enforcement officers, likely using a Taser to subdue him.
In the south of Tenerife, police officers barely managed to subdue a man who had argued with a neighbor and threatened him with a knife.
It is said that he also threatened police officers with a knife in the Guaza area, in the municipality of Arona.
Locals say that it all happened last week. People called the police because they saw a man who was very nervous and waving a knife at another man.
The threatened neighbor locked himself in his house to avoid being attacked.
When the police arrived, the man initially sat down and hid the knife.
But then he saw that the police were not leaving, grabbed the knife, and started running across the field.
He also threatened municipal security officers with a knife.
Since the man was very agitated, the police most likely used a taser to subdue him and ensure that no one was hurt.
It is known that the man likely has mental health issues.
Therefore, doctors had to give him a sedative injection to calm him down and prevent him from causing trouble.
Initially, the man was taken to the emergency room in the south, in the El Mojón area.
He was then transferred to the Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria University Hospital, where he was admitted.
