Members of the La Laguna Local Police in the north of Tenerife have arrested a 36-year-old man who threatened to kill his sister and brother-in-law with an axe, in a house located in the La Verdellada neighbourhood of San Cristobal de La Laguna.
The young woman and her partner went to the property after learning that her mother had received threats from her brother and had suffered a blackout, and needed to be taken to the University Hospital in the city (HUC).
According to the Local Police report, the sisters partner went in to the house to find out what had happened, and had a heated exchange with his brother-in-law, who took an axe and tried to attack him with it twice, one of which was from behind, but the intervention of a neighbour prevented the incident from getting worse.
