British tourist Jessica Tanner was on Las Ramblas moments before the attack.

"Where the van had driven into, we were standing there taking pictures of the street," Jessica told BBC Breakfast.

"Minutes later we heard a massive bang behind us and screaming and crying. We ran with the crowd and hid in one of the local shops. They tried to pull the shutters down. People were diving under the shutters.

"At first everyone was praying it was a road accident or collision. We were terrified."

Jessica said the emergency services and local people had been "wonderful", with taxi drivers offering to take people home.

Some Spanish newspapers have put graphic photos of the aftermath of the Las Ramblas attack on their front pages, but La Razon opts for a white ribbon and the headline "United against terrorism".

Sports daily Marca says "Today we can't talk about sport" and instead features other newspapers' front pages.

"Terror on the Ramblas" is the headline in French newspaper Libération.

"Terrorists in the heart of Barcelona" says Italy's La Repubblica.

Police said there was no indication the incident was connected to the Las Ramblas attack.

However, Spanish media are now quoting police as saying that the dead man found in the car in fact died from stab wounds and was not in the driver's seat. He was the car's owner and was not known to the police, La Vanguardia newspaper reported, external.

Police are now attempting to find out who was at the wheel of the car when it ran over the police officer, the newspaper said.
