In what is being called an unprovoked attack, fans can be heard expressing their disapproval along with the person recording the video clip.
Birmingham Mail and Express & Star report how glass from a bar in Las Ramblas smashing the ground as the police force moved in at chanting supporters.
There is also photos of a fan of the Premier League club with blood streaming down his face.
A supporter said: “They just attacked fans for no reason. Police wanted to provoke trouble – it was unnecessary and total aggression for no reason. One lad ending his night in hospital.”
“Scumbags, these lot are,” says one of the fans in the video sent to Birmingham Live.
Another supporter added: “Police closed down the square and cornered all the fans in. Luckily we had just moved on from the square, great atmosphere and no trouble at all until they arrived.”

Was ridiculous Suzi, loads of Wolves fans having a great time in a square and a few bars, singing etc. All of a sudden, bars closed & Spanish police waded in for no reason at all. Absolute chaos, and a chance to blame English fans for trouble….#wwfc #wolves
