A group of alleged informal vendors attacked three officials from the GNB (National Bolivarian Guard) at the entrance to the Miranda station of the Caracas Metro. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, was captured on video and shared by the media outlet lapatilla.com. According to the video, the vendors became aggressive and threw objects at the officials, demanding the release of a woman who was being detained. The attackers even used pipes to assault the officials, forcing them to retreat into the station. The woman, who was eventually released, appeared to faint and was moved by one of the men involved in the attack. The incident is a troubling display of the deteriorating security situation in Caracas.
