He is then said to have somehow managed to swipe the German's wallet before fleeing in the wheelchair.<\/p>\n
There was mayhem in the square as people, not knowing what had happened, saw a bunch of tourists chasing a disabled person over cobbles, but luckily police were on hand to solve the issue. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A patrol of officers from the National Police happened to be in the area at the time and were alerted to what had happened. <\/p>\n
They joined the chase and eventually managed to catch up to the alleged thief, then proceeding to arrest him. He is facing a charge of aggravated robbery.<\/p>\n
The German tourist was reportedly left bleeding profusely from his face and screaming in agony. <\/p>\n
His injuries were so bad that an ambulance was called to take him to hospital whilst the arrest was being made. <\/p>\n
The thief was also loaded into an ambulance as police cars in Majorca are not equipped to transport disabled people. He was taken straight to a police station. <\/p>\n
