A man was arrested last night by the National Police on the grounds of the Extremúsika Festival for gender violence, as confirmed by this security body, which cannot clarify the circumstances in which the events occurred or if the man is still under arrest. This incidence is also specified in the health coverage report issued by the Red Cross. Sources from this institution detail that the woman was treated in the sanitary set arranged in this space and that she had bruises and wounds on her face, although she did not need to be taken to the hospital. The organization of this musical event that attracts tens of thousands of spectators has explained that it was their private security service that detected this aggression and called the National Police. The festival has a purple point within the Red Cross space, a set of information and prevention of sexist attacks that is usually installed in collaboration with municipalities and other institutions.

Apart from this, the Red Cross treated 12 people for injuries, 14 for trauma, four poisonings, one heart condition and two digestive pathologies. There were also two assists to minors, an alcohol poisoning and a sprained ankle.
