THIS is the shocking moment an elderly Brit is mugged and violently thrown to the ground as he walks through Majorca with his wife.

The 85-year-old man was pounced on by the young attacker who stole his bag and wallet before fleeing the popular tourist destination.

Video footage captures a criminal as he pursues an elderly couple along a sunny street in Cala Millor, a major tourist spot on Majorca’s eastern coast.

As the mugger approaches he appears to try and overtake the couple before snatching at the man’s belongings which were in his hand.

The Brit holds on bravely to the small bag with his valuables inside as the attacker grabs hold of his wrist.

Moments later, the fragile OAP is thrown onto the hard pavement as his body smashes off the concrete.

His terrified partner rushes over as the man lays still on the ground after hitting his head.

The mugger managed to quickly scurry away with the man’s bag.

The robbery happened just after midday on Wednesday in the tourist hotspot which sits a short drive away from the Love Island villa.

Local police have since been able to identify the suspect with him being arrested just hours later in a nearby street.

The victim was called into the station and able to recognise him as the person who had assaulted him.

It is not immediately clear what injuries the pensioner suffered or if he had been able to recover what was stolen from him.

Watch moment Brit has £43k watch snatched off wrist by e-scooter bandits while sitting in traffic in £250k Lamborghini

The mugger has already gone before an investigating judge but his fate is currently unknown.

His age and nationality is also yet to be released.

Just weeks earlier, another Brit had his possessions swiped by e-scooter bandits in Spain.

Lamborghini driver Scott Mariella was stuck in heavy Barcelona traffic when he had his £43,000 watch stolen by thieves.

Sitting in a bright lime green £250,000 Aventador, Scott and his partner Simone were approached by two thieves. The criminals took advantage of stopped traffic to speed past the expensive cars and select an unsuspecting victim.

Footage shows how one of the thieves went up to the Lambo Aventador and appeared to ask to take a picture of the car.

As he leaned in to get the snap he started to speak to Scott before gesturing for what looked like a high-five.

Seconds later, the man grabbed at Scott’s arm and managed to remove his watch in one quick movement.

He then hopped on the back of his accomplices scooter who was waiting on the other side of the road just feet away.

The pair sped away as a desperate Scott tried to chase after them in his supercar only to find himself boxed in due to the traffic.

It follows a growing concern over street crime in Barcelona.

Earlier in May, a video showed a tourist subduing a thief by pinning him to the ground and using a chokehold after the thief attempted to steal his camera.

The suspected robber picked the wrong target – as the brave photographer managed to floor the man and submit him with ease.

Last August, British sailing legend Sir Ben Ainslie was robbed at knifepoint for his £17,000 Rolex in Barcelona.

Ainslie, 47, recalled the horrifying ordeal as a gang mugged him as he went out for a meal.
