Shocking moment foreign tourist is beaten up by four men for his watch in front of terrified girlfriend in Barcelona as people walk by and do nothing
A gang of thugs have been caught on camera brutally beating a man in the middle of a Barcelona street before making off with his watch.
The victim, a foreigner who lived in the city in Catalonia, northeastern Spain, was surrounded by four men who suddenly launched a vicious attack yesterday.
The victim's girlfriend can be heard screaming in the background of two videos taken of the assault.

The clips show the attackers punching the man before dragging him to the ground while bystanders do nothing to help.
He lost both his shoes and the attackers pulled at his t-shirt while hitting and kicking him as he desperately clung on to his watch during the brutal assault.
At one point the victim managed to push one attacker to the ground but the group still made off with his watch.

Local police arrested five Moroccan men in the case and a spokesperson confirmed the suspects had been accused of 'attempted robbery with violence'.
Officers reportedly recovered the stolen watch, which had been damaged, from the suspects.
The victim, a foreigner whose nationality was not reported, only suffered minor injuries according to reports.
Last year it was reported Barcelona had become so ravaged by pickpockets, police were handing out survival kits.
The Urban Guard of Barcelona started handing out the bags to tourists who returned to their belongings after a swim only to find they'd been taken.
The bags contain flip flips, a t-shirt, trousers and a one-way Barcelona Metro ticket.
