A Japanese streamer has been the victim of a violent robbery while broadcasting live his walk through the streets of Barcelona last Sunday. Three young men approached the content creator from behind, using the “mataleón” technique.
The technique consists of surprising victims by strangling them from behind and then stripping them of their belongings while they are unconscious. In this unfortunate event, the streamer was stripped of his watch, an iPhone 13 and his wallet, which contained 350 euros. {{#values}} {{#ap}} {{/ap}} {{^ap}} {{/ap}} {{/values}}
Images of the incident were broadcast live, generating debate on social networks about security in Barcelona. Viewers, through the comments, expressed their dismay and criticism: “What has happened to Barcelona? With what it has been, a leading city in the world…” and “Don’t you realize that if Spain loses tourism to these beings of light, we will be even more screwed?“.
Outrage was also evident in comments describing Barcelona as an unsafe place, some going so far as to describe it as a “dump” and call for actions to improve security. Additionally, several users shared their own experiences, warning about the need for caution when walking through certain areas of the city: “You always have to watch your back in Barcelona. I say this knowingly, I move around a lot.”
