The women in a state of agitation appeared- demanding immediate attention from medics.
When they were told to wait, they lunged at a doctor and nurse and then hit and bit security guards who intervened.
One of the guards received substantial bruising and bite marks according to the Murcia region Union of Health Professionals(SPS).
Four Cieza Policia Local officers appeared along with the Guardia Civil with the women lashing out against them.
They were detained on counts of causing injury and attacking a police officer.
The SPS said it was the third incident at the same emergency centre this month, with two minor assaults suffered by a security guard.
Murcia’s Health Ministry said a complaint had been filed about Tuesday’s incident along with psychological and legal support offered to the centre’s staff.
