Crowds of onlookers have gathered at the police tapes that cordon off a large area of the city around Las Ramblas and Plaça Catalunya. The van drove down the centre running over everyone. Albert Tort, 47, a nurse who lives in Las Ramblas, said he witnessed the attack. I saw at least six people dead and I tried to revive a young man but it was impossible. Las Ramblas will be for everyone once again.”
