On the day of Friday, August 6, the video was released that shows how a 37-year-old lawyer ran over and left a motorcyclist on the verge of death in Vicente Lopez after a traffic fight that they had had minutes before.
The case, extreme, is actually one more in the daily life of the Buenos Aires suburbs.
Similar scenes of excessive fury and for the same cause
had been experienced a few days earlier in the western area of Greater Buenos Aires.
One happened in Castelar
when leaving a school
and another in Ituzaingo, where
a policeman threatened a driver with his weapon
in the middle of an argument.
The two situations were recorded in videos that, like the case that occurred in Vicente López, also went viral.
In the town of Morón,
the episode coincided with the return to classes
after the restrictions and the winter holidays.
At
midday
on
Monday 2, there was a moment of extreme violence in front of dozens of students from a school
.
A neighbor on the corner of
Pedro Goyena and Navarro,
near the traditional Inmaculada school,
threatened
a father with a knife who went to pick up his son
from class.
The fight was witnessed by boys and parents when leaving school.
The trigger for the discussion that ended in threats was that
the man parked his vehicle at the door of the neighbor's house
.
"
What are you pulling the knife with the boys there?"
You hear the man say, who
decides to go back a few meters
when he
sees that, enraged,
the owner of the house approaches with the knife in his hand
.
"Go report me, you are at the door of my house," the neighbor is heard saying in the filming.
Far from finishing the fight, the father retorted:
"With a knife, with a knife, you dumb shit."
The moment was not only
witnessed by other parents
who also parked their vehicles in the block, which are seen along the curb of the sidewalk in a very busy hour.
Also the boys who were leaving school at that time saw the scene.
"Why do you take the car there for me? Gil, don't take it up there," ends up saying the neighbor, who decides to turn around to apparently go back into his house.
Armed driver
On Wednesday 4, the same day of the violent episode in Vicente López, another violent situation occurred at the intersection of
Pérez Quintana and Famatina
, in Ituzaingó, when
a man was threatened by another driver with a revolver
.
The fact
that it could have ended in a tragedy was
registered by the cell phone of the daughter
of the threatened driver, who was reproached by the other motorist for being
slow to start when the traffic light turned green
.
The daughter of a driver filmed the policeman with the telephone, who pointed his service weapon through the window.
"When he opened the traffic he wanted to pass at all costs, he locks me up and stands next to me. He lowers the window and I got out there, I asked him why he locked me up and he replied 'hurry up and run,"
said Diego, the protagonist of the scene , to Telefé Noticias.
In the video, you can hear how Diego tells the other driver
"then get off and let's box"
, to which
the
man's
response
was to take a gun out of his jacket and
with the window down
, to
point
directly
at the other motorist .
"I was wrong to react and go down, but that does not justify what he did,"
acknowledged the father of the family and assured: "My wife and daughter are scared."
He also maintained that
before drawing the weapon
, the aggressor even pulled the strap back and hammered.
And, according to his testimony,
he warned him that he is a policeman.
Faced with the threat, Diego ran away from his family, so as not to expose them to danger.
In the early hours of the following Thursday
the man - who was confirmed to be an active police officer
-
turned himself in to the authorities
after the images were viralized and
his regulation weapon was taken from
him
.
According to the Pimer Plano media, the
agent serves in Hurlingham and took charge of what happened.
That is why a case was initiated
for aggravated threats
and it was made available to the Decentralized UFI No. 2 of Ituzaingó.
