On Tuesday, the National Police arrested a 67-year-old Spanish man accused of brutally beating a 90-year-old man and stealing a Rolex watch valued at around 50,000 euros.
The incident occurred at the Son Pardo racetrack in Palma on May 3. The 90-year-old man had gone to the bathroom in the restaurant when he was attacked from behind and struck several times on various parts of his body. The watch was taken from his wrist and the attacker left the scene, leaving the older man lying on the floor and bleeding.
He was taken to Son Espases Hospital, while the National Police initiated an investigation by studying security camera images. One of the cameras was trained on the bathroom door. This gave investigators clear identification of the attacker.
On Tuesday, a National Police patrol car passed a bar terrace off C. Aragon in Palma. Officers spotted a man on the terrace who fitted the description of the attacker. More officers arrived and he was arrested.

The main problem with displaying wealth in any way, it attracts the thieving jackals, ready to strike and rob people.
You've got to chortle at the brain of this criminal. Snatches a Rolex, beats the owner and then heads straight to the terrace of a bar in central Palma for a beer to celebrate his new asset. Probably wearing the Rolex openly for other drinkers to admire. Waits in the bar drinking while Police comb the local area and find him. Dumb and dumber.
