The Mossos d'Esquadra have updated to 18 the tally of people arrested for the incidents that occurred on the Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona, where several groups have smashed shop windows, set fire to bins, and thrown pyrotechnics at the officers present in the area.
As they report in a statement, these new arrests, carried out once the demonstrations called by the general strike had ended and been dispersed, are added to one person detained the previous night for the burning of bins and to another arrested for assaulting authority officers.
The Catalan police still maintains a large operational deployment in the center of Barcelona.
