The Metropolitan Police have released the images of three men in connection to a tourist who was stabbed during a violent robbery and had his £115,000 watch stolen. 

The victim, who was a 55-year-old tourist, was stabbed in the arm as three men seized his watch. The incident took place in Berkeley Square, in London’s Mayfair.

Detective Constable Eve Kelly said “This violent robbery was committed in broad daylight. And it appears that the victim was specifically targeted for his watch. He and his wife were left shaken. They have since received counselling to help deal with the impact of this robbery.”

Police said that the man suffered a deep wound due to this incident that took place on June 9, last year. They also added that the suspects appeared to be in their 30s and of Mediterranean appearance and medium build. They ran in the direction of Park Lane with the watch.

The Omani national was targeted near the luxury department store Harrods in Knightsbridge. Badir Rahim Alnazi, of Brent, northwest London, 23, has been charged with murder, attempted robbery and possession of a blade in relation to the attack.
