A couple of policemen on duty at beaches travelled to the area, checking the veracity of the complaint. From the shore, made signs for the athlete to come to land but he ignored them. At the insistence of the policemen finally he approached them but keeping a safe distance, to ask them what they wanted. The policemen requested him to disembark to identify him self because he was kiting in a prohibited are. He disobeyed and began to maneuver to get away, at which time one of the policemen jumped in to the water to stop him, clinging to the board. Faced with this, the kiteboarder continued maneuvering flight, dragging the officer who did not drop the board.
In view of this, the other police jumped into the water to support his partner, but this time the athlete is caught, dropped and placed him under arrest(hand cufted), not without some difficulty since they were in an area with nearly one meter of water.
The arrest was witnessed by numerous bathers, many of whom came to congratulate the two members of the police force.
