WATCH: Shocking moment Police are kicked out of neighbourhood in Barcelona by violent mob

Local Police were kicked out of a neighbourhood in Barcelona by a violent mob over tension following a parking fine.

The Rocafonda neighbourhood of Mataro, Maresme, Barcelona, was the stage to a violent scene of social conflict on the evening of Tuesday, 26, April, when police were kicked out of a neighbourhood by a violent mob. Most of them were reportedly of Moroccan origin, chasing local police officers out of the neighbourhood after one of them had tried to place a fine on a vehicle that had double-parked in Pau Picasso street.

The incident reportedly began shortly after eight o’clock in the evening, with the individual responsible for parking illegally, reacting angrily and provoking a large number of residents of the neighbourhood to join him in his confrontation of the police.

“This just happened in #Mataró. A pack of Moroccans attacking the local police for doing their job. People come to Spain to adapt and to work. Whoever comes to commit a crime, deportation.” read a tweet posted by @Escribano_R, showing a video of the riot.”
