Barcelona riot arrests: 56% of 128 detainees were minors

A riot in central Barcelona on Saturday saw over 500 people, mostly minors, vandalize property and loot 23 shops, resulting in 128 arrests, of which 56% were underage. The violence lasted four hours and left 14 police officers injured. The gathering was organized via social media under the 'Blocus' label, mirroring recent protests in France. Police say participants were "very young" and disorganized, with most minors aged 13 to 16, and only two detainees had prior records for public disorder. Authorities have opened an investigation into the organizers, and the mayor has vowed to pursue legal and financial consequences against the detainees and their parents. Police are working to prevent similar incidents from recurring.
