Three 15-year-old teenagers were arrested in Córdoba after setting a police officer's car on fire with a Molotov cocktail. The incident occurred Wednesday night in the Müller neighborhood, just meters from Police Station 32, where the victim was on duty. The officer suffered first-degree burns on his arms and legs while trying to extinguish the fire on his own.
Violent attack with Molotov cocktail
According to police sources, the strikers threw a glass bottle filled with fuel, which caused rapid combustion. The beer-type bottle was seized at the scene as evidence by Judicial Police experts. The car was practically destroyed by the fire before it could be extinguished by the officers.
Two of the detainees already had criminal records for robbing app drivers in the San Vicente neighborhood. After the attack, they fled on foot but were located a few blocks away by police officers patrolling the area. The three minors were placed at the disposal of the juvenile justice system on charges of attempted homicide and aggravated damage.
