An American YouTuber was escorted to safety by Spanish police after being chased by men, including one who appeared to be carrying a knife, while filming migration-related content in the North African enclave of Ceuta, according to video published on social media.
Nick Shirley, an independent content creator who reports on political and social issues, shared footage on X showing himself and a colleague running through nearby streets after a confrontation. The incident occurred while Shirley was documenting migration pressures in the Spanish territory, which borders Morocco and has experienced periodic surges in migrant arrivals in recent years.
