Tarifa : A Moroccan minor found underneath a coach coming from Tangier

The Spanish National Police found near the port of Tarifa, a small town in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, on the southernmost coast of mainland Spain, a Moroccan teenager who was hidden underneath a coach coming from Tangier, says El Pais quoting a communiqué issued by the Spanish police.

«The place where the boy had been hiding was a very difficult access area and, because of the child's physical characteristics, helping him get out was complicated», the same source added. The police had to wait for a while and tried to reassure the boy as they guided him out  «to facilitate his evacuation».

According to the same source, the child was able to free his leg first, while «the police asked him to calm down». His other leg was stuck for a few seconds, «until he managed to finally get out».

Immediately afterwards, the minor received first aid from a Red Cross team and was then transferred to the Algeciras Protective Services.
