Meanwhile, other neighbors and bystanders from the sector were waiting for him below, who shouted “Throw it, throw it!” to receive him, apparently, with more aggression, as heard on the recording.
In the last seconds of the video, it is possible to observe how the alleged thief looks bloodied and is thrown from the roof to the terrace of the house, in the Southwest town of the capital of the Atlantic.
At that moment, the video is cut, but it was learned that the subject was later handed over to a Barranquilla Metropolitan Police patrol, which protected him from further beatings from the community, which says it is “tired of the robberies.”
