A Moroccan man was arrested Saturday in Segur de Calafell, an urban area in the municipality of Calafell (province of Tarragona), for allegedly attempting to sexually assault a minor, says the Catalan News Agency (ACN). The incident has been confirmed by the town hall.
On Saturday, around 1 pm, a man was seen by pedestrians accompanying a minor. His attitude has made people in the street suspect what he was doing.
Witnesses quickly alerted a nearby police patrol before another was called in as a backup. The agents finally arrested the man and opened an investigation.
According to ACN, the child was cared for by a team of psychologists.
