According to the Spanish website Estrecho digital, the individual, whose papers were not up to date, protested against the authorities’ decision by jumping into the sea, causing a delay in the boats.
Coming from Algeciras, the man, whose age and nationality were not revealed, was apprehended by the security services before being forcibly boarded on another ferry bound for Spain.
