Constituents in Spain's Catalonia region voted for independence in a disputed referendum Sunday that left more than 800 people injured after Spanish riot police used batons and rubber bullets on civilians attempting to cast their ballots.

Catalonia has "won the right to become an independent state," the Associated Press quoted Catalan President Carles Puigdemont as saying after the polling.
