Gibraltarian couple just metres away tell GBC the deadly attack in Algeciras was harrowing
One clergyman has been killed and four other people injured in an attack on two churches in Algeciras.
A 25-year-old Moroccan man has been arrested. The Spanish government is treating the incident as a suspected Islamist terrorist attack.
A Gibraltarian couple was just metres away when the incident unfolded shortly after 7.20pm on Wednesday evening. They told GBC it was a harrowing experience. First they felt numb with shock when they realised the gravity of what they were seeing. Amid panic and screams, they then provided a description of the attacker to the police.
Two attacks in quick succession in two Algeciras churches
Minutes earlier, the attacker had entered the La Palma church screaming and waving a machete, while the mass was ongoing.
The priest asked him to leave and once outside the church, the priest was attacked and killed in the Plaza Alta public square.
The attacker had already knifed another clergyman in the San Isidro church. The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries; his condition was described as stable.
At least three others are believed to have been injured.
