Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating a second suspected kidnapping attempt in Sabadell, after a man was attacked and forced to flee on Thursday. Investigators are trying to determine if the victim is the same man targeted in September on the AP-7, when other men posed as police officers and forced him out of the car. The latest incident took place in Sabadell, Barcelona. The victim went to a meeting in the city and, on arrival, found two groups of vehicles and around six people. According to reports shared with EFE, the group attempted to force the man into a car. He was repeatedly hit with baseball bats, but managed to escape despite being injured and was taken to a medical centre for treatment. The Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) of the Mossos has opened an investigation and taken a statement from the man about the new events. In the September case, the attack was linked to a drug-related group. The victim was allegedly abducted, taken in a car, assaulted, and then released hours later after the episode that was widely circulated in a viral video online.
