“The reason for the inspection is to help the people who were traveling in the place, the policeman was alerted by passers-by and drivers that this person was with a knife”, he added.
But neighbors and witnesses accused that the police acted excessively and that the merchant never acted recklessly.
& # 8220; he was lying on the floor, because he supposedly was walking in the street intimidating him because he has psychological problems, then the police arrived and they asked him for the knife. I never saw him & # 8216; he throw the cuts “& # 8221 ;, a neighbor pointed out to Radio Bío Bío.
Ante las acusaciones de vecinos, desde Carabineros indicaron que they will be the subject of investigation, but they reiterated that the officials acted in legitimate defense.
“They came to the aid of the people who were in the place, and as I said effectively there may be different versions, but everything will be the subject of an investigation to clarify the facts”, Brown added.
