In Ceuta, a series of violent events unfolded late at night in the Prince Alfonso district, where six officers from the National Police were injured as stones and other projectiles were hurled at them. The incidents began just after 9:00 pm on Friday, when officers arrived at the scene following reports tied to ongoing investigations in and around a residence near the area. Police sources stated that the situation quickly escalated as a crowd gathered and began assaulting the officers with hard objects, prompting the officers to respond by firing their service weapons into the air to deter the aggressors and restore control. The confrontation left six officers wounded, with one urgently transported to a university hospital after being struck on the head by a rock, highlighting the level of danger faced by frontline responders.
The operation involved officers from the Police Response Unit and the Central Narcotics Brigade, both of whom participated in the effort to quell the disturbance and secure the scene. One individual linked to the disturbance was apprehended at the location, and authorities indicated that additional arrests could follow in the coming hours as other participants in the stone-throwing attack are identified and located.
Officials underlined the difficulty in detaining hotheads and conducting precise identifications in a crowded environment where many faces were concealed and visibility was poor. This complication extended the challenge of enforcing law and order during a scene that had quickly turned chaotic and dangerous for those attempting to restore safety.
The events followed an earlier police operation in the same area that had been aimed at investigating a shooting incident at dawn on Friday. Reports indicate the attacker fired toward the facade of a house, injuring residents inside, including a family with two small children. Afternoon and evening shifts had already primed officers to respond rapidly should new disturbances arise, given the area’s recent history of violence and tense encounters with the public.
