Arrested at Bilbao airport after pushing past the security check
He attacked two security guards, “fed up with complying with regulations”, and admitted having used drugs
The Fiscal and Border Section of the Civil Guard arrested a passenger this Friday around seven in the afternoon who entered the restricted security area of the Bilbao airport and attacked the security guards. As reported by the Armed Institute in a note, the incident occurred when this person, who came from a festival and admitted to having taken drugs, got tired of “following the rules” and crossed the security arches without depositing his belongings on the tape of the scanner, without saving the corresponding row and bothering other users.
The agents, requested by the airport staff, informed him that he had committed an “administrative offence” and warned him that they had to go through the controls correctly in order to catch the flight home. The man, “altered” and showing “symptoms” of having consumed narcotic substances, refused to identify himself, told them that he was “fed up with following rules” and threatened that he would fly “yes or yes” even if he had to “go over everyone if they were not allowed to.
They managed to calm him down with the help of a family member and he was directed to the Civil Guard offices. Then, suddenly, he “turned around” and started running towards the security gates to try to pass them again. Two security guards – who suffered several injuries – and two agents stand in his way to hold him back, to which he responds with blows, kicks and slaps. The uniformed officers proceeded to arrest him and requested medical assistance due to his “irrational acts” and “hallucinations that he suffered”. In addition to missing the flight, the young man faces a crime of serious resistance and disobedience and a violation of the Air Safety Law, which states that access to restricted security areas in access control includes penalties of up to 45,000 euros .
