Admir Katica from Sarajevo was in Barcelona yesterday with his daughter when a van rammed into a group of people crossing Barcelona’s most famous street, La Rambla.
As he told Faktor, he’s at a tourist resort about 60km away from Barcelona, but had come on a one-day field trip to Barcelona with his daughter.
“We were walking on La Rambla. My daughter wanted to go to Starbucks and get a coffee, while I wanted to continue walking. So we went to the closest Starbucks some 200m away from La Ramble and drank our coffees, as my daughter wanted. When we finished, we continued towards La Rambla, where we saw chaos. People were running, crying, screaming. The police was yelling orders, ordering us from the street. In that mess, we started running with them,” Katica said.
He asked people what was going on but no one could say exactly what was going one. According to his words, it all looked like a TV scene from Nice, London or some other cities that suffered terrorist attacks.
“I have to say that the situation was very weird. Thank God, we weren’t in any danger. Even though I wanted to continue walking down the whole street, her wish was to go to Starbucks saved our lives. If it was according to my wish, we probably would’ve been in the center of everything,” he said.
He also told us how they were leaving Barcelona for three hours, due to the large traffic jams towards the exists of the city.
“There were three police controls. They even boarded the bus, probably searching for terrorists. There are about 40 of us from BiH and Serbia oon the bus. None of us were directly in danger, as far as I know. Some of them told us how they were in Burger King eating when that happened. They told us that they saw how everyone ran away and the ones who didn’t were locked inside, but when everything calmed down, they let them go. Normally, we were all scared and we weren’t indifferent,” Katica said, adding that he doesn’t know the atmosphere today in Barcelona, since they came back to their resort last night.
