In a chilling incident that has sent shockwaves through Barcelona, a man described as of “North African” origin, with a history known to local authorities, unleashed a vicious assault on multiple women within the confines of the city’s metro system. The disturbing attack, which took place at the Camp de l’Arpa station along Line 5 in the Sant Martí district, occurred on Friday morning, just minutes before ten o’clock, catching commuters off guard as they awaited their trains.
As captured by security cameras on the subway platform, the assailant confronted and attacked several individuals before delivering a powerful punch to a woman’s face. The victim, engrossed in her mobile phone and unsuspecting of the impending violence, was knocked to the ground, suffering a severe blow. The force of the attack was so great that even the assailant himself lost his balance and fell to the ground in the aftermath.
Witnesses to the brutal assault reacted with shock and disbelief, rushing to the aid of the victim as they called emergency services for assistance. Despite the severity of the attack, the victim sustained injuries and received medical attention at the scene. Other passengers on the platform, some of whom were also targeted by the assailant with varying degrees of force, were also treated on the scene.
In the wake of the incident, the Mossos d’Esquadra swiftly responded to the scene, identifying the assailant as a young man of North African origin with a history of criminal activity in the Sant Martí district. Although security guards managed to detain the suspect before he could escape, he remains at large as the investigation continues.
Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) has condemned the attack, pledging support to the victims and reaffirming their commitment to ensuring the safety of passengers across the metro network. However, the incident has reignited concerns about public safety, immigration and vetting policies, and the need for enhanced security measures to prevent similar attacks.
Stay tuned for further updates as the investigation into this alarming attack unfolds. In the meantime, residents of Barcelona remain on alert due to another migrant who has unleashed terror on their community. Unfortunately, these incidents have been common occurrences for years throughout the open borders of Spain and Europe. Just recently, a similar string of attacks occurred in the Netherlands, which is also grappling with weekly assaults perpetrated by migrants.
