The judge accuses the riot police of assaulting a Valencian teacher from behind and the prosecutor sees three crimes

A police officer from the anti-disturbance unit has been identified and summoned to appear as an accused party in a court case after he assaulted a teacher during an educational strike in Valencia. The prosecutor’s office supports the teacher’s complaint, alleging three potential crimes: injuries with aggravating circumstances due to public function, violation of moral integrity, and infringement of individual rights. The incident occurred on May 31, during a protest on Avenue Pío XII, where the officer allegedly pushed the teacher from behind, causing her to fall and sustain injuries requiring medical attention. The police report claims the officer used 'minimum regulatory force' and attributes the injuries to an 'accidental fall' caused by the teacher losing balance. The internal disciplinary process within the national police remains pending, though the officer was temporarily removed from duty.
