The municipal official was affected in one of the fingers of his hands, so the municipality will gather information to report the case to the prosecutor’s office.

The inspector’s work, which he carried out in the company of police on this occasion, is part of the controls carried out by the municipality on street commerce in the city.

This was reported by the director of Municipal Security of Chillán, Alejandra Martínez, who mentioned that the aggressor was arrested.

“We are going to continue monitoring actions that are associated with crime, with areas that are not paying any type of taxes, which are also harmful to health and cause damage to public safety,” said the professional.

Just last August, a Seremi transport inspector was hit with a bat in the exercise of his professional activity.
