Chaotic scenes showed sparks from friction between baton-wielding officers and residents rallying against the use of public property for a Louis Vuitton runway.
Protestors rage against private event in public park and alleged damage to stepsDramatic clashes have broken out between police and protestors near a famous Barcelona park after it was closed for a private fashion event today.
Enraged by the organisers' alleged damage to the historic steps to the park, Catalan Mossos police made several arrests after demonstrators stopped a vehicle from entering, local media claimed. In one video, the crowd appears to shuffle forward before one man is beaten back with a baton, crying out in pain.
The man in grey dives in with a wild kick but finds himself in the centre of eight officers, all masked and all with batons, who surround him and drag him away from the crowds. A journalist for Catalan channel Rac 1 claimed a person had been detained by officials and taken to a police station. Another protestor in black coat with 'ACAB' emblazoned across the back joined the march, trailled by a black cape.
