Police in Catalonia said an “incident” was underway in Subirats, municipality west of Barcelona, at around 4:30pm local time (3:40pm UK time).
Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan police force, tweeted: “4:39pm: Police operation in progress at Subirats. Spread only official information.”
It is unknown whether the man is Younes Abouyaaqoub, a 22-year-old Moroccan-born, who officers believe was the driver in last week’s Barcelona terror attack.
