La Policía de Córdoba detained a 65-year-old man accused of attacking a woman inside a waiting room at a medical center in Río Tercero, according to the Ministerio Público Fiscal de la provincia. The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon, around 15:30, and left the victim with injuries requiring three days of recovery and work stoppage, as established by the medical certificate from the police doctor.
The Attack Captured on Security Camera in Río Tercero
Security footage from the medical facility shows the victim sitting in the waiting room alongside a friend when the suspect approached. Wearing a black jacket, brown pants, a black hat, and glasses, the man hurled a blunt object resembling a stone directly at the woman’s abdomen without speaking a word. The suspect then exited the building while the victim’s friend pursued him into the public street, where the accused made discriminatory remarks regarding the victim’s gender identity. Fiscalía de Instrucción de Fuero Múltiple 2 de Río Tercero, led by fiscal Nicolás Torres, oversees the active case.
Did You Know? The medical examination conducted by the police doctor determined that the victim’s injuries required exactly three days of medical care and work leave following the assault inside the Río Tercero health facility.
Escalation of Charges and Arrest Details
Initially, the Fiscalía ordered only a perimeter restriction against the attacker, prompting public frustration from the victim on social media regarding the safety limits of protective measures. However, subsequent witness testimonies, the victim’s formal statement, and the hospital security video prompted fiscal Nicolás Torres to escalate the legal response. Investigators ordered the immediate detention of the suspect due to a concrete risk of interfering with the ongoing judicial process. The man now faces formal charges for minor injuries qualified by hatred toward the victim’s gender identity.
Legal Proceedings and Next Steps
The accused remains at the disposal of justice while the Unidad Judicial de Río Tercero processes the case file. Legal authorities expect the 65-year-old suspect to deliver his formal statement before the fiscal in the coming hours. Meanwhile, prosecutors continue executing various evidentiary measures to finalize the investigation into the discriminatory attack.
