Tremendous shock for a bank employee located in the heart of Alicante after being threatened with a 20-centimetre machete. The National Police arrested the intimidator, a 65-year-old Spanish citizen, at the branch itself, seated on a chair with the knife inside a plastic bag.

Apparently, according to the employee's statement to the police, the arrested individual had threatened her on several occasions, even with a wooden stick. The police are unaware of the suspect's intentions and whether he suffered from "any kind of disorder."

The incident occurred when a call to the Cimacc Room of 091 alerted about an individual who had entered a bank branch in Alicante and threatened one of the employees with a large machete. According to the report, the alleged aggressor was still inside the premises, prompting the police to act swiftly and dispatch several patrols.

When the officers arrived at the branch, they observed the perpetrator of the threats seated on a chair, with a plastic bag containing the machete used to intimidate the employee. The police officers took charge of the weapon, which had a 20-centimetre blade and an ivory handle, without any incident occurring.

The employee recounted to the officers that the man entered the branch and, before being attended at the counter, took a large machete out of a bag and removed it from its sheath, showing it to her and several customers of the bank, who raised the alarm. The detainee, accused of a crime of threats, has been brought before the Alicante magistrates' court on duty.
