The last mass combat between gangs of young Latin Americans took place last Thursday September 26 in Salvador Allende Square in Badalona, as confirmed by the Mossos d’Esquadra and evidenced by the video published by Vox Badalona.
In the images you can see how around twenty young people armed with machetes, knives and sticks confront each other in a gigantic gang fight in the square of the Llefiá neighborhood. The participants found themselves in the square where they had come armed with machetes, and soon the insults gave way to the use of knives.

The Mossos administratively denounced one of the young people for carrying a knife. Police sources confirm that no arrests have been made for participation in the violent events.
One death in August
Just over a month ago, in August, a person died from injuries received during another fight in Badalona, in the Gorg neighborhood. During the fight caused by an attempted robbery, one of the six people involved hit the victim on the head with a huge stick.
Badalona Urban Guard agents, who responded to the neighbors’ warning, put an end to the fight and requested an ambulance for the injured man who ended up dying at the Can Ruti hospital.
The “dagger plan”
The increase in stabbing attacks in Catalonia led in 2023 to the implementation of the so-called “Dagger Plan”, now renewed with new random checks to remove knives from the streets.
In total, last week almost a thousand checks were carried out in Catalonia, between Mossos, Local Police and National Police, during which a total of 336 knives and dangerous objects were seized.
