Patrol officers immediately went to the scene. 

A 53-year-old Ukrainian man answered the door, stating that his partner had left and he didn’t know where she was. 

Agents inspected the building and found the woman semi conscious, with leg injuries, in a common area. 

She told officers her partner had thrown her off the balcony and that although the abuse was common, she had never reported it. 

The man was arrested and the woman moved to the Hospital Costa del Sol. 

She was released this morning, April 29. 

The incident is now being investigated by the Family and Women’s Department of the Policia Nacional (UFAM).
