While a group of city police escorted the Buenos Aires Security Minister, Sergio Berni, at the bus driver protest in General Paz, a few meters away another scene of extreme violence was experienced.
At the time that Berni was attacked in the protest for the murder of Daniel Barrientos (65), a bus driver was talking with one of the police officers who was at the scene.
It was at that moment that another officer went directly to hit the bus driver on the head with his shield.
The violence was such that the Minister of Security himself, who had already been attacked, approached the police to ask them to stop the violence.
The images, which were broadcast by the A24 news channel, quickly had an impact and were repudiated by social and political leaders and numerous users.
In the video it can be seen how one of the drivers is with his arms raised talking to one of the City Policemen, and another Policeman bursts in from the right side who, with the protective shield and without saying any kind of word, hits him directly in the face.
