A man was shot dead early this morning after entering a Spanish police station wielding a knife.

The incident, which took place in Cornella, just outside the northeastern city of Barcelona in Catalonia, is being treated as a "terror attack," according to regional head of criminal investigations Rafel Comas.

He added that "it was a clear act of aggression against a police officer inside a police station" and "the individual uttered references to Allah" during the incident.
