Córdoba Man Detained After Assaulting Partner and Barricading With a Knife

Special tactics officers ended the standoff after hours of negotiation.

Overview

  • Police responded to a 911 call from a 50-year-old woman who reported being punched by her partner at a home on Félix Garzón 1100 in the Marechal neighborhood.
  • The suspect retreated to an upstairs room with a knife and threatened self-harm, prompting a callout for the provincial ETER crisis unit.
  • After prolonged negotiation, ETER officers entered the room, subdued the man, and took him into custody without further injuries.
  • Investigators seized the knife and other items, the victim received medical assistance, and the primary suspect faces family-violence and injury charges.
  • Two additional men were detained, one for allegedly attacking police and another for violating a restraining order, with outlets differing on whether one was the victim’s son-in-law or the attacker’s father.
