The reaction of neighbors led to an attempted lynching that was contained by the capital's authorities. The incident occurred on April 10, when the boy's mother was walking down the street. A 'Condor' helicopter transported the minor to the Legaria Pediatric Hospital, where he is receiving specialized care. The medical report indicates that the child has a severe skull fracture and his health condition is guarded. That afternoon, violence shook the Santa Fe colony in Álvaro Obregón, after a man attacked a four-year-old child with a machete, causing a serious head injury. The blow caused a skull fracture, alarming residents of the area. They prevented a lynching and rescued the aggressor. After the attack, neighbors pursued the attacker, subdued him, and tied him to a post, where they began to beat him in an attempt to carry out justice by their own hands. Elements of the Citizen Security Secretariat arrived at the scene and deployed an operation to rescue the man, who already had multiple injuries. Subsequently, he was taken to a hospital under police custody. Minor is transported by helicopter; condition is guarded. Due to the severity of the injury, an air medical operation was activated. The Prosecutor's Office is investigating attempted homicide.
