Speaking to the La Gaceta, a Spanish newspaper, the unnamed victim said she was outside a cocktail bar smoking when a woman chanted: “Pig, pig, we’re going to kill you.”
As the female aggressor fled, men from the group moved in to beat her as she recalled “being kicked in the head”.
The woman, who denies links to any political groups, claims she was targeted by the gang, reportedly hard-left activists, because she wore a bracelet with the flag of Spain on it.
“They beat me for that, they want to ban us from carrying our flag”, she said on Monday.

Two men aged 18 and 21 were arrested hours after the incident that happened on Sunday.
Another four suspects were also later detained.
Murcia’s police force said the attack was typical of far-left gangs, explaining the grim attack had “characteristic of how self-proclaimed anti-fascists behave.”
Six suspects have now been arrested by Spanish police
Although there is no motive for the attack, officers believe the sight of the Spanish flag may have caused the mob to launch an attack.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Spain’s interior minister, Juan Ignacio Zoido described the attack as “evil”.
He called for the “full weight of the law” to be brought against the perpetrators of the “horrible act”.
