Two Ukrainian women forced to jump into Malaga reservoir to escape being stoned by attackers

Two women, aged 22 and 24, had to be rescued from the Limonero reservoir in Malaga after they jumped into the water to escape from four young men who were harassing them, trying to assault them and throw stones at them.

The events took place on Saturday May 20 at around 4.30pm when the young women, said to be of Ukrainian origin, were taking a hike along the shore of the reservoir, where they came across several men who began to harass and assault them.

One of the girls received a severe blow to the head and was even thrown into the water, so her friend also jumped in to try to escape from the attackers. The latter was able to call the telephone number 112 to get the emergency services to turn up.

Even as the aggressors were still in the area, she told police what had happened and said that her friend needed medical help because she was injured, according to official sources from the 112 services.

At 5pm in the afternoon, the young woman called the emergency services again because the youths had attacked them again and were throwing stones at them.

Police, an ambulance and the Malaga Fire Brigade personnel were called to the scene and rescued the girls by boat as they were still in the water in the middle of the reservoir, then took them to the shore.

Paramedics helped the victims, who were taken to the Materno-Infantil Hospital in Malaga after receiving first aid on the spot.

National and Local Police are working on the case to arrest those responsible for the aggression.
