Maritime authorities thwarted an incursion by illegal migrants attempting to reach Spanish territory in a motorboat this week, according to reports.
The wild incident unfolded on Sunday in waters off Melilla, a Spanish enclave located on the north coast of Africa.
Footage shot by a witness has been circulating on social media.

A pleasure craft carrying migrants can be seen racing toward shore with the Guardia Civil in hot pursuit.
Suddenly, the vessels collide and the police boat slams down on top of the much smaller smuggling craft, knocking at least one passenger into the sea.
Incredibly, no one was seriously injured in the collision.
Four illegal migrants were taken into custody.
Predictably, open borders activists and left-wing politicians have expressed outrage over the episode and are demanding an investigation.
It was at least the second attempt by migrants to reach Melilla by sea over the weekend as a vessel carrying 11 illegals landed on Horcas Coloradas beach before being taken into custody by the Melilla Civil Guard.
