As can be seen from the video received by a local security camera, several gunmen violently attacked the two people. The Socialist Council has stated that the people who have been attacked are the hair salon worker and a friend of his.The council did not provide any information other than the context of what happened, and the Department of Security of the Basque Government did not make a statement.

The Socialist Council of Bilbao has released the video of the incident. It conveys its solidarity and support to those attacked, denouncing the attack as "a sign of structural criminalization and persecution". They point out that the function of the police is to "maintain the classist order" and that as a result it is persecuted against immigrants and the "proletariat". An example of this is the San Francisco neighborhood, where they suffer “militarization and systematic police harassment.” The council denounced the "impotence" of the police.
