Friday, June 20, 2025 - The horrific moment an off-duty Spanish cop choked a suspected phone thief to d3ath in front of passersby as they pleaded with him to "let him breathe" has gone viral.
The unnamed 58-year-old policeman was out for dinner with a
friend on Tuesday, June 17, in the Spanish town of Torrejon de Ardoz in
northeastern Madrid when a man allegedly stole his phone and ran off.
The alleged thief was chased by the cop, who slammed him to
the ground and held him in a neck restraint.
A disturbing video shows the police officer lying on the
ground as he holds the man in a de@dly chokehold.
"Call the police," the officer tells onlookers as his victim lies
motionlessly on the pavement.
Neighbours are heard pleading with him to let go of the man,
telling him: "[The police] are nearly here...please let him breathe."
But he ignores them and continues to press into the man's
neck.
"Sir, please get off him. The police will be here
soon...please let him breathe a little bit," a man off-camera says.

El agente le aplicó un 'mataleon' y el magrebí ya no podra robar más.
