The man stabbed is said to be in ‘serious’ condition in hospital but not in immediate danger.
Police have not yet made any official comment about the Barcelona hotel stabbing.
The stabbing comes ten days after five masked men posing as police officers were filmed kidnapping a semi-naked victim on a motorway near Barcelona in front of motorists.
The abductors brought traffic on the busy AP-7 running along Spain’s Mediterranean coast to a standstill before dragging the man out of the vehicle by his feet and bundling him into a car behind.
The men had covered their faces with Balaclavas and were wearing police Hi-Vis jackets and had also put a fake police siren on top of one of the cars they used to box in their hostage target.
Police later confirmed the man snatched had been found elsewhere and had not suffered any serious injuries, but said they were still hunting his abductors.
