A fresh perspective has surfaced regarding the altercation at a Mobil gas station in Plaza Diagonal, Puebla, located on Diagonal Defensores de la República. On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, a photographer from Agencia Enfoque came forward accusing a gas station attendant of physically assaulting him during a dispute over an alleged bill exchange.

According to the photographer, he visited the station to contest what he believed was a swapped bill and demanded a refund. The situation escalated when one of the employees reportedly responded with violence. A video circulating on social media captures the moment the attendant pushes the photographer, throwing him against his car amid a heated exchange witnessed by other workers and customers.

The photographer has announced plans to file a formal complaint with authorities to ensure a thorough investigation and accountability.

This incident adds complexity to an earlier video shared hours before at the same gas station. That footage shows a customer accusing an attendant of attempting to swap a 500-peso bill, which the worker claimed was counterfeit. The customer, in turn, called the attendant a “thief.” Witnesses have stated that the customer filled 200 pesos worth of fuel and left without paying, though this has not been confirmed by officials.

The unfolding situation has sparked widespread debate online, with users demanding clarity on both the alleged use of a fake bill and the physical aggression reported by the photographer.

While tensions run high, this episode highlights the importance of transparent and respectful interactions in public services. As Puebla continues to develop infrastructure projects like the upcoming cable car system, which promises to improve urban mobility and accessibility, fostering trust and safety in everyday spaces remains essential for inclusive progress.
