MADRID – A 32-year-old man has been arrested in Barcelona accused of raping eight women, including five minors, police said Monday.

The arrest of the suspect occurred earlier in July when one of his victims spotted him in a café in Manresa, a suburb of Barcelona.

The man, a Colombian national, had carried out the assaults beginning at the start of 2008. The victims were aged between 13 and 27. In each case, the assailant wore a baseball cap and carried a knife.
