Agadir’s regional authorities swiftly responded to a video circulating on social media on Wednesday, showing a group of people throwing stones at cars in Taroudant.

In a statement, police said the incident is already the subject of an ongoing judicial inquiry by Taroudant police.

According to the findings, the altercation began when a car driver, involved in a past relationship with a woman, forced her into his vehicle using violence. Three men riding a motorized tricycle intervened, throwing stones at the driver to stop him, an incident captured in the viral footage.

Police have identified and detained both the driver and the woman, as well as identified those involved in the stone-throwing and the person who filmed the video.

Authorities stressed the case is an isolated dispute and not linked to any gang activity, contrary to misleading captions accompanying the video online.
