In a morning report from Barcelona, a bar on La Bordeta Street concluded a night of violence after a crowd clashed outside. Police sources indicate up to 30 people were drawn into the dispute. During the confrontation two men sustained serious knife wounds, though some neighbors watching from their windows believe broken glass from bottles also caused injuries.
Despite the chaos, one victim remained on the ground, covered in blood. Mobile footage suggested he was transported by ambulance to a hospital for treatment. The Medical Emergency System SEM confirmed that he is recovering from the wounds. Witnesses described the moment with fear, certain he might die as the scene appeared still and red with blood.
The Catalan police deployed riot units to stabilize the area, coordinating with citizen security patrols to manage the street. The altercation began inside a bar and escalated to a violent showdown on the highway.
neighborhood version
Residents of La Bordeta reported another restless night as the tenth episode of loud nighttime disturbances unfolded in the same area. The frequent late night activity around several bars in the neighborhood prompted concerns among locals, who described the area as a recurring gathering point for groups and risky alcohol-related incidents.
Around 1:30 in the morning, sounds of screams, shouting, and bottle throwing signaled the start of new trouble. Witnesses recalled someone injuring another man with a broken bottle while responders from Mossos d’Esquadra worked to revive him. An eyewitness, Maria L.A, described watching the events from her balcony as the tension rose.
Several residents captured photos and videos as dawn approached. One observer noted people chasing each other and a woman on the ground pulling hair during the scuffle. Five Mossos minibuses arrived to help quell the confrontation.
There were further testimonies pointing to a gathering near Plaza de Espanya. A group wearing Peruvian shirts appeared to be organizing a rally before moving toward a bar where the incident began. The reasons for the encounter remain unclear.
Nearby residents stressed that two buildings have struggled with coexistence due to repeated disturbances caused by some patrons after drinking. They question why local authorities permit continued activity in the area and express concern about ongoing disruption for residents who have lived in the area for decades. One long-term resident, Louis R., who has called the region home for 23 years, condemned the ongoing disturbances and urged authorities to address the underlying issues.
