The neighbors of a Alcbendas housing development are desperate because of one of their neighbors. He is a young man suffering from a mental illness, living alone, and out of control. They are used to seeing him throw objects through the windows, although it is not the only alarming behavior experienced by their frightened neighbors.
The most affected, those on the floor below have had to change their windows several times since this man started throwing objects from his window. The noises start at dawn. It is impossible to get any sleep. But it’s not just the neighbors living a nightmare. The shop owners are also scared. «Passing by the hairdresser and dodging the glass,» says an official.

The situation has worsened in recent months. «Bicycles stolen, thrown, caught,» says a neighbor. «The neighbor next to you can’t sleep; his wife is on medication and everything,» says another lady.
Those who see him passing by say he seems absent, like he’s disappeared. The neighborhood is on edge and many neighbors have decided to move. There have even been cases of aggression towards two neighbors and death threats from another neighbor. Those who remain are asking for solutions.
The situation has worsened in recent months, and the family can’t do anything because it’s a legal matter. Putting the case in the hands of justice as well as the Municipal Council, they are waiting for the judge to decide on a diagnosis and treatment plan.
