Barcelona City Police disarm young man during knife fight in city centre
Barcelona City Police officers detained a young man on Avenida del Paralelo on Tuesday after intervening in a violent knife fight. The arrested individual had wounded another person before confronting armed officers with two bladed weapons.
According to OkDiario, the incident took place at approximately 19:30 on Tuesday 9 June at the intersection of Avenida del Paralelo and Calle de Manso. Multiple calls to 112 reported a fight between two people, one of whom was carrying a knife.
A City Police patrol attended the scene and found the attacker, who was carrying two large knives. The individual was highly aggressive and threatened the officers with the bladed weapons, so the officers had to draw their pistols in order to subdue him.
Eventually, the young man was disarmed and detained. Officers located the victim shortly afterwards, who had sustained minor injuries from a bladed weapon and was treated at the scene without requiring hospital transport.
The detainee, approximately 20 years old and of Maghrebi origin, was taken to police facilities and brought before a judge. He faces charges of assault and assault against law enforcement officers.
This incident occurred just hours before the fatal shooting of a man on Calle Balmes in Barcelona, which is being investigated as another settling of scores between rival Balkans gangs.
