He has been seen wandering the streets and posing a danger to the safety of pedestrians and road users, after he, on more than one occasion, resorted to throwing stones at citizens and cars.
Recently, the individual in question appeared near a roundabout on the city's main street, and close to the police station, holding stones in his hand and issuing threats to passersby and car occupants. This scene caused fear and a state of alert among citizens, especially since his actions have previously caused material damage and put individuals in danger.
Given the repetition of these incidents, citizens' voices are rising, demanding urgent intervention from the competent authorities, led by the local authorities, to deal with the situation of this person in a way that guarantees his safety and the safety of others, while finding an institutional solution to curb the phenomenon of individuals suffering from mental disorders who roam the streets in conditions that may make them a danger to themselves and to citizens.
The responsibility for intervention remains with the competent authorities in accordance with applicable laws and procedures.
