The images shock and generate indignation.
Without saying a word or any explanation, a man
hit several women
who were waiting for the subway in Barcelona.
One of the victims received a
brutal punch
that even knocked her to the ground.
According to reports, the attack occurred around 10 a.m. this Friday, on the platform of line L5 at the Camp de l'Arpa stop.
The security camera recording shows how the aggressor hits several women while walking.
And as he advances, the violence increases.
He goes from blows to the head to
hard slaps.
The worst part was suffered by a young woman who was looking at her cell phone, distracted from the situation that was happening around her.
The man took advantage of her and
hit her directly in the face.
Due to the force of the impact, both ended up on the floor.
The violent man quickly rejoined and even while fleeing he continued throwing blows at the people who crossed his path.

Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) reported that the man was detained by security guards and handed over to the police.
However,
he was not detained
although an investigation was opened against him.
Although his identity was not revealed, he would be a young North African man with a criminal record.
The woman who suffered the worst attack only suffered minor injuries and was assisted at the scene.
TMB made themselves available to the victims and condemned the behavior.
The sequence quickly went viral on social networks and generated
anger from users
.
While some pointed directly against the violent man, especially due to his status as an immigrant, others also criticized the lack of intervention of the witnesses.
