Deputy to the Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaido has been detained by the country’s intelligence services.
Deputy Edgar Zambrano refused to leave his car when approached, and as a result, was towed to the prison in his car.
It is the first arrest of an opposition figure since attempts to spark a military rebellion against President Nicolás Maduro last week.
He was taken to El Helicoide, a notorious prison in the centre of the city.
Mr. Guaidó also tweeted about the arrest, calling Mr. Zambrano’s arrest and the towing of his car absurd.
