Six Arrested in Madrid Protest Over Migrant Death Spanish authorities arrested six people during a violent protest in Madrid over the death of a Senegalese street vendor, police said Friday, adding 10 officers were injured. The clashes on Thursday evening in Lavapies, a district in the centre of the Spanish capital with a large immigrant population, saw angry protesters set fire to dustbins and motorbikes, and throw stones at riot police. A police spokesman said six Spanish people had been arrested, including a minor and a woman. He added 10 police officers were injured in the unrest, while emergency services said four people were slightly hurt in the protest. Demonstrators at the time told AFP they were protesting in support of Mame Mbaye. Mbaye was a street vendor in his mid-thirties from Senegal, who arrived in Spain by boat 12 years ago.
