Man barricades himself in a bar after launching a violent attack in Spain’s Basque Country.

The man decided to barricade himself in the toilets at a bar in Barakaldo after violently attacking two people. The attack took place on the morning of Tuesday, November 9. The man had assaulted the owner of the bar and a customer too. The man stayed barricaded in the bar for many hours. He was arrested at around 2:30pm.

The man had carried out the attack with an iron bar and a bottle. He had managed to stay barricaded for about four hours before being arrested.
