A significant dispute in Madrid's Usera district has resulted in the arrest of twelve individuals, one of them a minor, by the National Police, accused of tumultuous fighting after an altercation that escalated from an entertainment venue to the public street.

The incident occurred around 11:00 AM on a Sunday at number 20 of Amor Hermoso Street. Several police patrols responded to the establishment, which was operating as an after-hours club, following an alert about a fight inside. Upon arrival, officers found two groups of people confronting each other.
According to police sources, the confrontation was highly violent, involving the use of glass cups and bottles, which caused injuries to several participants before the brawl moved outside the premises, onto the street.
As a result of the operation, officers arrested twelve individuals. In the initial phase of the intervention on the public street, eight people were apprehended, including a minor. Police sources indicated that the detainees are of various nationalities, specifically mentioning Spanish, Colombian, Peruvian, and Bolivian citizens.
