A van has ploughed into crowds in Barcelona's Las Ramblas tourist area.

Spanish police say several people have been injured in a "massive crash", while emergency services are urging people to stay away from the area around Plaça de Catalunya.

Reports from the scene say people are taking cover in nearby shops and cafes.

Reuters news agency reports that emergency services have requested the closure of local metro and train stations.

El Pais newspaper said the driver of the vehicle had fled on foot after mowing down dozens of people.

Steven Turner, who works in the area, told the BBC: "People in my office saw a van ramming into people on Las Ramblas.

"I saw about three or four people lying on the ground."

"There are lots of ambulances and armed police with assault rifles around now."

Details of this incident are still unclear, but vehicles have been used to ram into crowds in a series of attacks across Europe since July last year.

Aamer Anwar said he was walking down Las Ramblas, which was "jam-packed" with tourists.

"All of a sudden, I just sort of heard a crashing noise and the whole street just started to run, screaming. I saw a woman right next to me screaming for her kids," he told Sky News.

"Police were very, very quickly there, police officers with guns, batons, everywhere. Then the whole street started getting pushed back.

"Police officers who got there just started screaming at people to move back, move back."

At some point the Muslims will need to be removed from Europe. This shit can't be allowed to continue forever.

Local radio reporting 13 dead.

Probably going to be more than that.

2 shooters hiding in a restaurant now.

Funny, if it had been a Muslim who was driving in Charlottesville then the left would be defending him.

Just a thought.

If he's a Hindu or a Native American then of course.

If the Nazis were doing this kind of shit I'd agree.

But they're not so what's your point or are you just trying to distract from the fact that the fucking Muslims have murdered people again?

Wrong. So very wrong.

You can't criminalize being stupid. We've done so already and made criminals out of those idiots that deny the holocaust but are we going to start jailing people who think the Earth is flat and that whites are the only good 'race'?

People are entitled to have opinions and be stupid at the same time, unfortunately.

Distract?
Like claiming this Muslim is all Muslims?

Now explain to me how this is different than saying 'At some point the Jews will need to be removed from Europe' or 'At some point the Negroes will need to be removed from America? I imagine you'd agree the last two were unacceptable and offensive.
