Ten months in prison. This is the sentence imposed by the Criminal Court No. 2 of Vigo to a resident of the city who attacked a young man from Mali. Also insulted him with the xenophobic expressions, such as calling him "black" as pejorative. The incident occurred for over a year on a bus.
The ruling states that when the vehicle is traveling on the Urzaiz street, the assailant approached the victim, who at that time he was sitting at the back of the vehicle. Among them there was a discussion during which the offender "uttered words like 'black dog," and attacked the immigrant. Thusthe accused bit the victim's left arm while "strongly twisted" his right arm. In this situation, the bus driver decided to stop the vehicle at a stop and give warning to the police.
