A terrible incident occurred in the famous Montjuic hill of Barcelona, in an area crowded with tourists. A 31-year-old Ecuadorian man slapped a one-year-old girl who was a tourist. The moment of the incident was captured on camera and quickly spread on social media.

In the footage, the man is seen first scaring the child and then delivering a hard slap to the little girl's face. The child's family immediately intervened, taking their daughter away. The police stated that the little girl was slightly injured and did not need to be hospitalized.

The attacker was arrested on Sunday for allegedly assaulting two more people that same weekend. The suspect will be brought to court on Tuesday.

This incident coincided with a rise in anti-tourism protests in Barcelona and other tourist areas of Spain. The housing crisis in the city, rising rents, and the decline in the quality of life for locals are increasing the backlash against tourism.

Barcelona's Mayor Jaume Collboni announced a plan to eliminate all short-term rentals by 2028 to address these issues. However, locals believe that more measures need to be taken to combat the negative effects of tourism.

This incident shows that Barcelona needs to reassess its tourism policies and security measures. The city administration is facing a challenging test in balancing the economic benefits of tourism with the needs of the local population.
