In the evening hours of Thursday, December 26th, moments of tension were experienced in the center of Ibiza, when a man threatened to take his own life by throwing himself from the roof of one of the buildings of the old school of sa Bodega, near the Mercat Nou.

National Police officers deployed an operation to manage the crisis. With a dialogue-focused approach, they were able to convince the man to abandon his intention. The quick and professional action of the officers prevented the situation from ending in tragedy. .
