A 33-year-old Serbian was arrested on Sunday at a swimming establishment located in Gzira. The Serbian had been wanted by the police for 4 months, after being involved in a fight with a 29-year-old Marsaskala resident on the 17th of February.
The police stated that, yesterday, they were notified that the Serbian was seen at an establishment in Gzira. As RIU officers arrived at the location to arrest the wanted man, the Serbian tried to escape and was being very violent, injuring 4 policemen in the process. The officers needed medical attention after the incident.
The whole arrest lasted a couple of minutes, with police struggling to get a hold of the man who was described as very strong. Back up had to be called and it was only then that the RIU got control of the man. The 33-year-old is now being held under arrest at the Police HQ in Floriana, while the 4 injured policemen are suffering minor injuries.
