A man has been caught on CCTV stripping the luxury watch from an American tourist in front of his family.
The brazen mugger was seen snatching the $45,000 (£37,000) watch from the man's wrist as the victim strolled through Barcelona's central Gothic Quarter with his children.
The criminal can be seen sneaking up behind the man and seizing his arm before ripping the watch away in seconds and running off. The young children appear bewildered and frightened at what they just witnessed, as their father stumbles back before regaining his composure.
