He was at the Place of Catalonia when he saw the manteros arguing with a woman who couldn’t cross the road with her pushchair.

The American tourist tried to help her but the migrants hit him with a belt, it was like “a whip” describe police sources.

He was hit so hard it caused “internal bleeding and a deep wound”. Fortunately, he was tended to by medics before being transferred to Barcelona’s Clinic hospital, where he was treated and is now out of danger.
