Barcelona, Spain – Around 6:00 p.m. on an unspecified evening, a gathering of young people in Barcelona led to widespread disorder. Police reported that approximately one hundred individuals were arrested following the incident. During the unrest, some participants targeted nearby businesses, setting fire to urban furniture such as benches and street signs. The fires prompted several hundred customers to become trapped inside stores that were forced to close abruptly in an effort to contain the damage.
