An off-duty local police officer in Gijón, Asturias, narrowly avoided a crash on 22 June 2026 after the front brake of his private motorcycle failed as he rode away from where he had parked it, in the La Arena district. He needed his riding skill to avoid an accident. Mechanics who examined the machine found that the front brake's hydraulic circuit had been deliberately tampered with by draining the brake fluid, and ruled out an accidental fault. Investigators from the local judicial police brigade used witness statements and CCTV footage to place a 68-year-old man at the scene and attribute the sabotage to him. He had known the victim previously through the officer's professional work and involvement in various police and administrative actions. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide and brought before the duty court, which released him with charges and barred him from approaching or contacting the victim.
