The suspect was arrested on Wednesday evening after a man wielding a machete attacked several people at two churches, 300 meters apart, in the southern port city of Algeciras.
According to a police source, the suspect has no criminal nor terrorism-related convictions either in Spain or any known country. The man was not in Spain legally and his deportation process began last June and was ongoing, the source said.
