The events occurred shortly before ten o’clock this Wednesday night. The subject, named Mohamed and born in Leganés, arrived with his girlfriend and the baby by metro to her house. They got off at the Aviación Española stop, in the Latina neighborhood. As she approached the exit, the girl asked her partner to take the baby up the stairs, because she had to take the elevator, since she was carrying the stroller.
When she came to the surface, the mother, a 22-year-old Spanish woman, realized that the child had been hit on the head. “When he gave me the baby, I saw a big bruise that I didn’t have before. I asked Mohamed and he told me that he had fallen to the ground,” he later told the municipal police, whose officers from the Latina district general police station arrived quickly after Samur’s report. Private surveillance of the Madrid metro was also reported.
The new mother told the police that the man had left and was possibly at his parents’ house. But when they went to pick him up, he wasn’t there. So they called him on his cell phone. Mohamed told them, “What’s happening is that I have anxiety, I have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but I lack medical guidelines.” “Plus, I had a little drink and my head went a little bit, hitting the child.” They asked him to go to the police station immediately and he said he would.
Meanwhile, a security inspector in that area of the metropolitan network provided the images of the security cameras, in which it is perfectly possible to see how the suspect hits the baby with force several times, sources of the investigation report to ABC. The mother showed the police a photo of Mohamed, for his recognition. The Samur health workers had to request a mobile intensive care unit, in which they transferred the little boy to the San Carlos Clinical Hospital, where they certified the serious head injuries and left him admitted to see his evolution.
The accused called the police station again to tell them that he was on his way. He showed up with his father at 00:50 and was arrested. He asked to receive his “prescribed medication”, which is why he was taken as a detainee to Gómez Ulla and said: “Sometimes I have tantrums”. He lived with his girlfriend and was in charge of taking care of the baby.
