The Malaga Local Police arrested a 24-year-old shortly after midnight on Saturday for hitting his six months pregnant girlfriend. Airport security cameras were key to his arrest, as they recorded the assault.

A witness who saw the scene alerted a patrol of the Local Police that was in the area. They also mentioned that the victim appeared to be pregnant.

The police immediately responded to the scene near the airport, but found only the suspect. They carried out an interrogation, during which he admitted to having had an argument with his partner and confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
