A man was forcibly taken on Saturday afternoon on one of Barcelona’s main streets, in an unusual scene that unfolded amid traffic.
The incident was witnessed by passers-by and drivers, who initially did not realize that a kidnapping was taking place because the five perpetrators had posed as police officers.

Footage from the scene shows the armed group getting out of a vehicle. The men were wearing reflective vests similar to those used by Spanish police.
According to reports, the vehicle they were traveling in had earlier collided with another car, forcing the latter to stop. The five men then forcibly pulled a bloodied man from the back seat and placed him in their vehicle.
The investigation has been taken over by the Criminal Investigation Directorate (DIC) of the Mossos d’Esquadra, which is working to identify the five people involved and determine their connection to the kidnapped man.
Authorities have not yet officially disclosed the motive for the incident. However, investigators suspect that the kidnapping may have resulted from a conflict between criminal groups.
