Illegal alien bashes Border Patrol agent’s face with rock. Lacerations and multiple, severe head fractures
UPDATE: The suspect has been identified as Carlos Manuel Pena-Nieblas, a citizen of Mexico. He remains at large. The Border Patrol agent, who suffered lacerations to the face and a bone fracture, has now been released from the hospital. He had 22 stitches.
A Border Patrol agent is suffering multiple head fractures after an illegal alien attacked him and bashed his head in with a rock, according to several Border Patrol agents who spoke with Breitbart Texas on the condition of anonymity. The attack occurred near the Ajo Station of the Tucson Sector.
The agent was new to the U.S. Border Patrol agency. According to the sources, the illegal alien tackled the agent and used a rock to bash the agent’s head.
A drug trafficking group was apprehended earlier in the day, according to the sources. When the agent was attacked, he reportedly deployed intermediate weapons such as OC spray and a baton. One Border Patrol agent source told Breitbart Texas, “After the Ferguson ordeal, agents are so apprehensive about using their firearm that incidents like these may become more frequent. Agents are so hesitant that it is actually risking our lives.”
