Sanhayi Daabouzi NASSER, a 35 year old Spanish national of Moroccan decent, resident in Gibraltar, was arrested by Police yesterday at Flat Bastion Road for violence related offences.

Once restrained by the officers, the individual was arrested and subsequently conveyed to St Bernard’s Hospital to be treated for dog bite injuries sustained whilst resisting arrest.

On his return to NMH Nasser was interviewed by the investigating officers and later charged with:
Threats to Kill

He was refused bail and was detained in Police Custody pending his appearance in court later today.
