A man has been injured in a machete attack in Barcelona<\/a>’s Old Town today.<\/p>\n

Footage shared on social media<\/a> showed a man in black t-shirt and shorts running down the narrow streets wielding a machete around 7pm local time.<\/p>\n

He ran down Carrer de la Ciutat, right past pedestrians and a cyclist, some of whom watched silently, even seated, while others screamed and fled.<\/p>\n

At Pla\u00e7a del Regomir, he appeared to catch up with a man in white trousers who had been weaving between people while holding a plastic bag.<\/p>\n

The suspected attacker then turned away while the man in white trousers continued running around a corner, no longer with a bag in hand.<\/p>\n

Police confirmed a man had suffered head injuries in the attack. They are not believed to be serious.<\/p>\n

A man was arrested nearby on Baixada de Viladecols. He has not been identified or charged at this stage.<\/p>\n

Known as Ciutat Vella, the Old Town is where Barcelona first formed more than 2,000 years ago.<\/p>\n

With Roman and Medieval architecture still visible, the narrow streets and museums of the Old Town’s Gothic District are major draw for the nearly 26million visitors who come each year.<\/p>\n

But Barcelona isn’t always a tourist paradise. Its 1.6million inhabitants sometimes tire of tourists and their impact on the cost of housing.<\/p>\n

Around 3,000 people joined a protest where water guns were squirted at tourists<\/a> last summer.<\/p>\n

Last October, a man slapped a baby in the face<\/a> and threatened to kill a family of tourists while they were sightseeing in Montju\u00efc park.<\/p>\n
