Footage has emerged from Barcelona of a mob confronting two people on a motorbike holding the Catalan flag of independence.

The video, captured on Tuesday (October 3), shows a crowd waving the Spanish flag and official Catalan flags marching towards the two people on a motorbike, which speeds past the crowd.

''I heard screams out in the street so I went to see what was happening,'' the filmer later wrote online.

''I saw a group of people with Spanish and (official) Catalonian flags screaming and in the middle of them a motorbike with two people holding Catalonia's independence flag.''

''At that moment some people in the group tried to hit the motorists but others stopped them,'' he added.

Two people on a motorbike waving a Catalan pro-independence flag are insulted and chased down the street by a group of Spanish Unionists in Barcelona.

he oído gritos en la calle

Con lo que he salido y he visto que había el grupo de gente con banderas catalanas y españolas chillando

Y en medio una moto con dos personas y una bandera independentista

En ese momento unos del grupo han intentado agredirles pero otros los han parado inmediatamente

Ha sido a partir de aquí que he decidido coger el móvil y grabar lo que ocurría
