Looters smash storefronts as police respond to unrest on Pelai Street in Barcelona, Spain

On October 24, 2026, in Barcelona, Spain, @ASAPLUX_ captured scenes outside a brightly lit storefront on Carrer de Pelai as unrest unfolded in the city center. In the video, crowds gather along the shopping street as looters run through the area and smash nearby store windows. Police move toward the scene as vandalism and commercial looting disrupt the busy retail district. According to reports, the unrest began after a youth mobilization organized through social media gathered near Plaça de Catalunya. When Catalan police, known as the Mossos d'Esquadra, moved in to contain the crowd, groups of hooded individuals dressed in black reportedly dispersed into nearby shopping streets. Carrer de Pelai became a focal point of the disorder, with reports of smashed shop windows and at least 14 businesses being looted. Police subsequently moved into the area to respond to the unrest.
