Heart-stopping moment Barcelona tourists narrowly avoid being mowed down as they flee Las Ramblas terror rampage
THIS is the heartstopping moment tourists avoid being mowed down by a depraved monster by just inches in the Las Ramblas terror rampage.
At least 13 people were killed and more than 100 injured when warped Younes Abouyaaqoub drove a rented Renault Kangoo van through the packed tourist hotspot in Barcelona.
Horrifying footage shows pedestrians narrowly avoiding being run down as the van speeds through crowds on August 17.
Tourists run into shops clutching suitcases and shopping bags as the horror unfolds in front of them.
The white van can be seen hurtling through the bust street in the background as a terrified group manage to escape just in time.
Some pedestrians make it to the safety of a local shop as they desperately flee from the attack.
The pedestrians then scramble under a closing barrier as Abouyaaqoub continues his bloody rampage outside.
Abouyaaqoub became Europe's most wanted man after he fled the scene of the massacre - leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.
