A total of 14 people have been arrested and extra police have been deployed after an attack on a pensioner sparked anti-migrant unrest in a small town in southern Spain, APA reports citing BBC.
Three people of North African origin have been detained on suspicion of attacking the 68-year-old man in Torre Pacheco last Wednesday.
The unrest began after a video circulated on social media, inflaming the town of 40,000 people which is home to a large immigrant population.
The pensioner and police later said the video was unrelated to the incident but social media calls to find and attack the perpetrators multiplied quickly.
