Christian Rodríguez Files Police Complaint Alleging Assault by Gustavo Salcedo

Police are reviewing medical and video evidence following Rodríguez’s identification of Salcedo as his attacker.

Overview

  • Rodríguez reports that a gray SUV struck his car and the assailant then beat him outside a law office, with his wife and young son present.
  • He was treated at Clínica Ricardo Palma, received four stitches to the head, underwent a medico-legal exam, and filed a complaint at the San Isidro police station.
  • A police report accessed by media details earlier alleged harassment and confrontations since March, plus threatening messages to his family, including a funeral wreath.
  • Witnesses and broadcast footage describe a public attack, with accounts of kicks to the victim and images showing head wounds and damage to his vehicle.
  • Television programs aired messages attributed to Salcedo, including “Bien merecido,” while legal commentators say charges are possible if injuries and a child’s exposure to violence are proven; no court decision has been reported.
