A tourist has died when he fell from a bridge in Spain, while being violently attacked and robbed.

According antenna3The event occurred in Barcelona on the morning of Wednesday, March 15.

The Mossos d’Esquadra said the tourist who died was a Canadian citizen, adding that his fall was probably not accidental.

A post-incident police statement stated that “the fight took place around 6-7 in the morning in the San Martín district of Barcelona.”

They believe that the incident is related to a violent robbery when the tourist fell from a bridge on the Ronda Litoral.

“When the agents arrived at the scene, they found only the seriously injured victim and she was evacuated to the hospital, where she died a few hours later,” the statement added.

The police are now investigating the case to clarify what happened during the incident, and are trying to confirm if the fight was due to a robbery.

After the incident, access to the Barcelona ring road at exit 23 was also closed, as the area was being investigated.

Just a few months ago, merchants in the El Born and Ciutat Vella neighborhoods of Barcelona denounced that they were suffering a strong wave of robberies.

The stores were robbed after the suspects used manhole covers to break windows and doors.

One of the store owners said that “These thieves have broken into seven or eight different stores with an area of ​​100 meters”, explaining the increase in the number of robberies.
