00:00No, this video doesn't show an altercation between an immigrant and Spaniards in Barcelona.
00:07A viral social media post alleges that a video shows an immigrant in Barcelona
00:13refusing to let a blonde Catalan off the metro.
00:16The post says that an Andalusian from the south of Spain comes and resolves the situation with a kick
00:22and you can see the supposed Catalan running off with the alleged immigrant's jacket
00:25who then chases after the train.
00:28It's been seen more than 2 million times on X.
00:31However, everything about the claim is wrong.
00:34For starters, the video doesn't take place in Barcelona, but in Paris.
00:38You can fairly clearly see a sign for Léal at various points in the video,
00:43which is a metro stop in central Paris.
00:45The video also appears to be a skit as part of a regular series of satirical videos published online.
00:51A reverse image search of stills from the video takes us to an account on Instagram and TikTok
00:56under the name Mr. Salim.
00:58And we can see that the video in question was uploaded in October 2024.
01:02He routinely posts videos of similar pranks, which often amass hundreds of thousands of views,
01:07in which he's pushed out of trains and other metro-based skits.
01:11They mostly appear to take place in Paris, but also in other French cities, such as Lyon.
