From our Man-Bites-Dog Department: A 56-year-old Dutch man was accused of violently attacking and robbing a German tourist in the Spanish city of Palma, on the island of Mallorca. According to reports, the victim was walking with another person near the Plaza del Oliver, when the assailant allegedly used his wheelchair to quietly stalk the victim. Appearing out of nowhere, he then allegedly punched the 62-year-old man in the face and stole his wallet. The suspect then fled the city center square in his wheelchair.
Witnesses reported seeing a confusing set of events unfold as the person in the wheelchair raced across the cobblestones with the German tourists giving chase. National Police already in the area on another assignment, also chased after the man in the wheelchair. He was soon captured and arrested on allegations of aggravated robbery.
The victim was taken to an area hospital for assessment. Read more.
