Brutal aggression that a motorcyclist inflicted on a traffic guard in El Cerrito

Traffic guard Carlos Gómez, from the El Cerrito municipality, was the victim of an attack by an enraged motorcyclist. The event was recorded on the afternoon of this Friday, and due to the magnitude of the aggression, it has been shared massively through social networks.

According to what has been learned, the official asked the motorcyclist for his driver’s license and identification, in the middle of a verification procedure. The man apparently replied that on two occasions such documentation had been required, and that this would be the third.

However, the public servant insisted that the citizen was parked in an area not authorized for parking vehicles.

The motorcyclist reacted by making demands, including asking him not to touch him. Then, he proceeded to board the car and pushed the guard who was stationed on the road to prevent him from leaving the place.

While the uniformed man was following the protocol established for these cases, the man got off the motorcycle, grabbed him by the neck and crashed him into a traffic sign. At that moment some people who evidenced what was happening intervened and prevented him from beating him further.

When the man fled again, the guard prevented him and again he was attacked. The attacker managed to hold him under his arm for several minutes until he was almost suffocated.

For the second time, passers-by in the sector intervened and reacted and managed to save the guard, while others gave notice to the Police.

Aggressor could go to jail

After a medical evaluation, it was confirmed that Carlos Gómez has bruises on the left side of his skull.

The local mobility secretary, Edinson Quintero Tello, delivered the report hours later and explained that the official has been in the institution for ten years. Due to the injuries he was disabled for the next five days.

Meanwhile, the man who attacked him was at the disposal of the competent authority for the alleged crime of aggression against a public servant, which could give him between four and eight years in prison.

“This person did not have a driver’s license, the Soat, or the mechanical technical review,” he reported.

“In El Cerrito these situations are not frequent, however, everywhere we can find citizens who want to attack public officials who do their job,” Quintero concluded.
