This is the shocking moment in which a man attacks several women while they were waiting for the subway in Barcelona.
The orgy of violence ends when he knocks an innocent traveler to the ground.
The man can be seen walking across the platform and lunging at different women before running up and brutally punching an unsuspecting young woman while she was listening to music on headphones and looking at her mobile phone.
He hit his latest victim with such force that he lost his balance and fell to the ground as she fell to the ground.
The last traveler the man attacked is said to have suffered a perforated eardrum.
The man brutally beat an unsuspecting young woman while she was listening to music with headphones and looking at her mobile phone. The attacker hit her latest victim with such force that he lost his balance and fell to the ground as she fell to the ground.
Police are investigating whether the attacker, described locally as a man of North African origin who was a known criminal with a history of theft, was under the influence of drink or drugs.
The sequence of attacks occurred yesterday morning at the Camp de l’Arpa station on line five of the Barcelona metro.
The station is named after the neighborhood of the same name in the city’s Sant Martí district, bordering the Mediterranean.
The Mossos d’Esquadra are also investigating the possibility that he attacked other women on a subway before walking down the platform and apparently randomly slapping and shoving his other female victims.

He said: ‘Last night we arrested a man for assaulting several women at Camp de l’Arpa metro station in Barcelona.
‘We are investigating if there are more women who were attacked.
‘If you have been a victim, report it to any police station.’
