CCTV captures the dramatic moment police overpower a knife-wielding man as he attacks an officer shouting 'Allahu akbar' near the Spanish-Moroccan border







Dramatic CCTV footage shows policemen overpowering a knife-wielding man who attacked officers on the Spanish-Moroccan border.

It is understood he was shouting 'Allahu akbar' or 'God is greatest' as well as other Arabic chants at the time of his rampage, according to local reports.

The video shows police carrying riot shields and batons surrounding the attacker, who is wearing a blue top and cream shorts.



As one group distracts him, an officer picks up a red traffic barrier and throws it at the assailant's head, sending him crashing to the ground.

The remaining policemen then swarm around the downed attacker and promptly arrest him.

Spain's interior minister Juan Ignacio Zoido confirmed the attack in which one of the officers was injured.

He said: 'The police have arrested a man who attacked with a knife agents at the border crossing of Beni Ansar.'

The man, thought to be Moroccan, was detained near Melilla and detectives are now investigating.



Riot police swooped to arrest him after one of their colleagues was stabbed in the hand, according to El Pais.

The attack occurred at 7.45am when the knife-man ran though traffic bound for Beni Ansar near the crossing.

He ran towards the guarded fence and started threatening officers, injuring one, and was then brought down.

Clutching a milkshake in one hand while juggling her silver heels and McFlurry in the other, Vicky inadvertently displayed her side-boob as she made her way through the fast-food restaurant in her distinctive cutaway dress. Having spent much of the night in attendance at the event, Vicky pulled a series of animated expressions as she left with a large takeaway bag cradled in her arms. The reality...

Why your brain stops working when you get tired Lack of sleep makes cells lose the ability to talk to each other If you are always losing your keys in the morning or walking out of the house without your mobile phone, sleep deprivation could be to blame. A study has found a lack of sleep makes us feel foggy for a reason: brain cells lose their ability to communicate with each other when we're tired. Temporary mental lapses are now believed to occur when these cells struggle to translate visual information into conscious thought. It means if a bunch of keys are in front of someone, they could walk past without picking them up. Brain cells, called neurons, were found to fire more weakly and take longer to respond in a study of 12 people kept awake all night. Neurology professor Dr Itzhak Fried, from the University of California, Los Angeles, who was involved in the study, said: 'We discovered that starving the body of sleep also robs neurons of the ability to function pr...
