Description :

Eight people were detained after violent clashes in Torre-Pacheco, Spain, between far‑right groups, local residents, and migrants. The unrest erupted Saturday following the beating of an elderly man earlier in the week, which prompted far‑right calls for revenge against the town’s large migrant community. Among those arrested were suspects in the original assault and others involved in the clashes, ABC News has reported. Police reinforced security in the town, where about a third of the 42,000 residents are foreign‑born, many working as agricultural laborers.
