Lilia Lemoine Reports 3 A.M. Stone Attack on Her Buenos Aires Home as Police Detain Suspect

The investigation is now with Federal Court No. 5 after police recorded counts of resisting authority plus injuries.

Overview

  • A policewoman from Lemoine’s night security detail chased the suspect and subdued him, suffering scratches, while Lemoine was unharmed.
  • Local officers from Comisaría Vecinal 11A intervened, identified the detainee as a 34-year-old man, and reported him to the on-duty court.
  • The case was registered under assault on and resistance to authority plus injuries and assigned to Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 5.
  • Lemoine, who has a guard due to prior threats, plans to assess damage, expand her complaint at the neighborhood precinct, and may seek standing as a private plaintiff.
  • She said loud impacts at 3 a.m. in Villa Santa Rita led her to arm herself with a blunt object for protection, and several legislators posted messages of support.
