The Mossos d'Esquadra police force arrested three men on Saturday, March 7th, following a reported group sexual assault on a minor in the la Sagrera neighborhood of Barcelona.

The incident took place around 7:30 PM near Pegaso Park. According to police reports, the suspects groped the victim with the intent to rape her, but she managed to escape and immediately contacted the authorities with a description of the attackers.
Police patrols searched the area and successfully located the three individuals, who matched the victim's description. The suspects were already known to police due to previous criminal records and past involvement in local squats.
This arrest follows another recent investigation into a sexual assault that occurred on February 13th in the Mossèn Costa i Llobera Gardens in Montjuïc, where a woman was attacked while walking her dogs.
