The Mossos d'Esquadra investigate the death of a man attacked by a group of people in the Nou Barris district (Barcelona)

The Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating the violent death of a man last night in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona.

Around two in the morning, the Catalan Police received a notice about an attack on a man committed, allegedly with a knife, by a group of people on the street.

Four ambulances from the Medical Emergency System (SEM) traveled to the place, where they located an injured person, in addition to Mossos patrols.

Despite the resuscitation maneuvers initially carried out by the agents and, later, by the health emergency personnel, the victim of the attack died.

The Criminal Investigation Division of the regional Police has opened an investigation, under confidentiality, to clarify the facts.

It is unknown, at the moment, if there was a relationship between the attackers and the victim.
