There has been a terror attack in Barcelona in Spain, in which at least 13 people have been confirmed dead.
A white van plowed into a packed summer crowd in Barcelona's historic Las Ramblas district at a busy tree-lined promenade in the centre of the city. Pedestrian had to run away from the bus through a maze of shops.
The police called it a terror attack and local media reported 13 dead and dozens more injured.
The driver was arrested around two and a half hours after the attack, reports said.
According to Carol Augustin, a manager at La Palau Moja, an 18th-century place on Las Ramblas that houses government offices and a tourism information center, the van passed right in front of the building.
"We saw everything. People started screaming and running into the office. It was such a chaotic situation. There were families with children. The police made us close the doors and wait inside".
According to Fox News, somebody has opened fire on police in a second possible attack.
Full details of the incident aren't available yet but vehicles have been used to ram into crowds in a series of militant attacks across Europe since July 2016. Over 100 people in Nice, Berlin, London and Stockholm have been killed from such attacks.
