Man arrested

Newsroom July 25 12:05

A police officer has been knifed in an attack at the Spanish border.
The officer was attacked by a man shouting “Allahu Akbar”, AFP quoted a police source as saying.
The incident occurred at the border between the North African Spanish enclave of Melilla and Morocco.
Police said the knifeman charged at a group of officers manning the border zone between Melilla and the Moroccan city of Beni Ansar.
He is believed to have shouted slogans as he ran at the group, slightly injuring one officer who managed to restrain him.
Spain’s interior minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said: “The police have arrested a man who attacked with a knife the agents in the border crossing of Beni Enzar, one of them slightly wounded.”
The police officer received a hand injury during the attack.
Police have arrested a suspect, a Moroccan man, following the incident.
