A British visitor was stabbed in Barcelona while valiantly fighting off four robbers who stole his backpack.
The thief stabbed the British man in the side of his body during yesterday night’s violent events in Barcelona.
The tourist was enjoying a drink on a patio in Placa Sant Josep Oriol near Las Ramblas yesterday night about 8 p.m. when her luggage was stolen.
The victim pursued the thieves and was able to detain him as they began grappling over the bag in front of horrified bystanders.
However, the thief then drew a blade from his pocket and repeatedly attempted to stab him before making contact with his side.
The Briton did not realize until he saw the blade in front of his face, at which time he released go of the thug, who ran to safety with his accomplices.
One courageous stranger unsuccessfully attempted to prevent their departure.
All four were detained soon after.
The scenario occurred during a violent upsurge in the renowned Spanish vacation destination.
At around 10 p.m. on the same night as the bag theft, another stabbing occurred in the same area.
And around 4am, two additional individuals were detained for stabbing a third individual after a violent dispute.
The drama occurred amid a rise in violence in the popular Spanish vacation destination.
The thief drew a blade from his pocket and repeatedly attempted to stab him before making contact with his side.
Four attackers left the area, but they were all apprehended soon afterwards.
Approximately 225 robberies occur daily in the Catalan capital, with gangs targeting the tourists that travel to the lovely city on Spain’s northeastern coast.
This week, former Barcelona star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the target of an armed gang who stormed into his luxurious house, threatened him and his family with firearms and iron bars, and fled with diamonds after injuring his jaw.
The attackers, who fled in a white Audi A3, assaulted the forward in front of his wife Alysha Behague, who had just moved to Chelsea yesterday.
At least four guys entered his yard at the complex in Castelldefels and terrorized him until they acquired access to the player’s safe, according to El Pais.
RAC1 alleges that the couple was forced to lay on the floor for an hour in front of their two scared children, Curtys, 11, and Pierre, 6.
Aubameyang received a punch to the chin with an iron rod, while Behague was struck on the head.
In the early hours of Monday, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was allegedly the victim of an armed robbery at his residence.
In 2019, it was claimed that pickpocketing in Barcelona had gotten so rampant that police were giving out survival kits.
The Barcelona Urban Guard began distributing the bags to visitors who returned to their things after swimming only to discover they had been stolen.
The bags include flip flops, a t-shirt, pants and a one-way Barcelona Metro ticket.
The city center of Barcelona is notorious for its high crime rate, which is mostly attributable to thefts and robberies.
According to the Barcelona Field Study Centre, Catalonia’s capital saw 40 crimes per 100 residents in 2016, a ratio that was exaggerated by visitors.
In Barcelona earlier this summer, a robber stole a nice watch from an American visitor in front of his family.
This is the moment a bandit takes a $45,000 watch from a tourist’s wrist as he walks with his family in the center of Barcelona.
The man apparently informed the police that the clock was worth $800,000 (£688,000) a few days before the police appraised it at $45,000 (£37,000).
In June, the visitor and his young family were strolling through the historic Gothic Quarter of the city, the same location as yesterday’s stabbing, when a mugger crept up behind him and stole his watch.
The American reported to authorities that his wristwatch was stolen near the five-star Mercer Hotel, where he was thought to be staying.
The tourist first filed a report with the Catalan police, the Mossos d’Esquadra, stating that his watch was worth $800,000 (£685,000).
The Catalan daily El Periódico said that police reduced the estimate to $45,000 (£36,870) after conducting their own investigation.
It is unclear why police reduced the watch’s worth.
CCTV video of the lightning-fast heist shows an unwary American going down an alley before a man grabs his arm from behind.
As the robber swings his victim around with one hand, he snatches the watch from his wrist with the other and flees, leaving the family speechless.
The visitor was accompanied by his girlfriend and three small children at the time of the robbery, as captured on camera. As the man is seized, he stumbles backwards and is ready to collapse, but he is able to regain his balance just in time to see the man flee with his watch.
Sebastian Vettel pursued robbers on a scooter around Barcelona after his suitcase was taken.
Sebastian Vettel, an F1 champion, rode a scooter through the streets of Barcelona a month earlier in pursuit of his stolen luggage.
Following the Spanish Grand Prix, the four-time world champion was attempting to trace down items that were stolen from his vehicle via the window.
According to allegations in the Catalan daily El Periodico, the German driver used the Find My iPhone app to get the GPS signal from his AirPods headphones that were inside the bag.
Vettel rode a scooter across the city after tracing the signal until he found the proper location on the map.
The headphones were located where his iPhone suggested they were, but the remainder of the bag’s contents were nowhere to be discovered.
In 2019, two guys fight on the beach in La Barceloneta in Barcelona, Spain. The head of the man wearing pants and a shirt was kicked.
It is believed that the burglars abandoned the headphones to throw off their pursuers.
In 2019, a man was left unconscious on Barcelona’s major beach after being kicked in the head by a robber attempting to take his phone.
Two guys fought on the beachfront of La Barceloneta beach, where stunned bystanders caught film of the altercation.
The moment a suspected robber kicks the other man in the face with his right foot, knocking him unconscious on the beach, is captured on violent video.
