The Ertzaintza is investigating a sexual assault in the Old Part of San Sebastian

The incident was known following another attack on 31 March, the alleged perpetrator of which is already in prison.

The Ertzaintza is investigating a sexual assault in San Sebastian last weekend, as confirmed by the Basque Government's Department of Security.

The victim has filed a complaint and the attack is reported to have taken place in the Old Town, very close to the City Hall, which has activated the protocol of action for male aggression.

Mayor Jon Insausti said the City Council heard about the case on Monday and expressed support for the victim. He also reported a video that has been posted on social media and recalled that it is now up to the Ertzaintza to investigate what happened.

This incident follows another sexual assault on the area on 31 March, in which a 33-year-old man was arrested on 8 April and placed in pre-trial detention.

On Monday, representatives of the City Council took part in a rally in the gardens of Alderdi Eder to condemn the two attacks and show their support for the victims. During the event, the mayor stressed that the pain of those affected is "the collective suffering of the whole city".

In addition, the City Council has adopted institutional declarations and reaffirmed its commitment to male violence. "We do not tolerate such attacks," Insausti said.
