At one of these fires in the intersection of Recoleta Avenue and Pargua, a Nissan Sentra car was burned and placed in the middle of the avenue. After this, past 1 in the morning, another vehicle was set aflame and used as a barricade. An all-terrain Toyota Rav4 truck was moved to block Recoleta and Los Nogales Avenues. Officers of the 54th Police Station and Special Forces arrived on the scene, but no one was arrested. It’s worth mentioning that previously in the same neighborhood, in recent disturbances, unidentified people stole two luxury cars and burned them in barricades on different nights.

Special Forces responded, and were immediately attacked with molotovs, confrontations which lasted for several minutes until the encapuchadxs retreated to the inside of the University to avoid arrest.
