German held for assault in Palma

A GERMAN man was arrested in Palma on domestic abuse charges.

The 23-year-old allegedly shoved a mobile phone in his 25-year-old partner’s mouth and threw hot wax from lighted candles on her face and body.

She was also repeatedly beaten and held against her will at his home after he locked the door and hid the keys, she said. The next day she managed to escape and reported the incident to the police.

It was found that the detainee has a European arrest warrant issued in Germany for inflicting injuries during a fight.
