Robbery of exclusive watch PC Hooftstraat

At around 6:35 pm, the man drives his car through the PC Hooftstraat towards the Van Baerlestraat. Because the traffic light of the intersection is red, the man has to stop. He then hears a loud bang and sees that his left wing mirror is crooked and broken. He also sees someone standing in front of his car with his hand on his side, as if he was injured. The driver gets out of his car to check on the other man and is suddenly grabbed around the waist and restrained by an accomplice. A third man forcefully pulls his exclusive watch from his wrist. The three then run off into Van Baerlestraat towards Museumplein.
