The perpetrators were in two cars, apparently committing some crime when the car passed by the sector in which they were located with the policemen who belong to the prison contingency unit and were on their day off.

The event occurred in the early hours of this Friday, January 27, and after the attack, the Police carried out an operation in which five suspects were apprehended.

Christian Mayorga, head of the Prosperina district, pointed out that despite the efforts to transfer one of the uniformed officers who was attacked, he died on the way to the Mount Sinai hospital.

The other agent who was injured remains hospitalized.
