If robberies are common in the Palermo area, the crimes are not always recorded by security cameras, something that did occur on this occasion.
A Uruguayan tourist suffered a violent attack in broad daylight, at the corner of El Salvador and Gurruchaga, in an event that happened last Friday at 5:30 p.m., but that was spread in the last few hours.
In the images, a tourist is seen trying to cross the street with two shopping bags in hand when he is intercepted by two criminals from behind.
After a quick struggle, the criminals managed to take a watch from him, threw the tourist onto the cobblestones, and left the place running in opposite directions and then fled on two motorcycles that acted as necessary participants.
