BARCELONA, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Feb, 2017 ) : Spanish police said Tuesday they fired on a truck loaded with butane gas bottles which was driving the wrong way down a road in Barcelona, managing to stop it and detain the Swedish driver.
"We detained a person who was of Swedish nationality," a spokesman for the regional police told AFP. Barcelona's city hall said the truck had been stolen.
There was no indication as yet whether this was an attempted attack or just a plain robbery.
The truck was driving on the wrong side of a ring road in the popular Spanish Mediterranean resort city. Police did not say whether there were any injuries. Around 20 police officers and at least six police cars were on site, and several gas bottles were lying on the ground, an AFP correspondent said.
The trace of at least one gunshot was visible on the windscreen of the truck, which was small.
