In Ceuta, scenes of police brutality have multiplied since the latest wave of migrants invaded the Spanish enclave. The latest is that of a hunter with a hunting rifle who had opened fire on a group of young Moroccans. He has since been arrested by the police after examining the video.

While they were passing through the street, young people were hit by "gunfire" from an individual apparently disturbed by their presence, reported the local newspaper EL Faro de Ceuta.

This newspaper reports that the video showing the horrible scene has gone viral on social networks. It shows a man firing with a compressed air rifle equipped with a telescopic sight, at a group of young Moroccans, injuring one of them.

Informed, the local police were tasked with solving this case, which has caused general outrage in Spain and elsewhere in the face of "cruelty" and "xenophobia" towards migrants.

According to EL Faro, the scientific examination of this video allowed the police to identify the alleged perpetrator of the shots. He was located and arrested for the crime of "racial hatred" and "injury" with a firearm.

In addition, the "weapon of the crime" would have been discovered and seized as "evidence" by the police, specifies the same source.
