00:00CCTV showed 27-year-old Zakaria Sanucci loitering with another hooded accomplice on the corner of a street near Hyde
00:11Park,
00:12before sprinting towards 73-year-old Sunil Chopra, grabbing his left arm and ripping the Patek Philippe watch from his
00:22wrist.
00:23Mr Chopra could be seen in the footage to have spun around after his arm was pulled, and he then
00:30saw Sanucci fleeing down the street with the watch.
00:34Sanucci, who is an Algerian national who changed his plea to guilty, to robbery, on the first day of his
00:43trial last month, was on Thursday sentenced to three years and nine months in prison.
00:49As an asylum seeker, his case will be referred to the Secretary of State for a decision on deportation at
00:56the end of his sentence.
00:58The watch, which Mr Chopra had hoped to pass on to his son, was not insured and has never been
01:05seen again.
01:05A year after the robbery, the victim is quote-unquote hypervigilant and is making plans to leave the country, as
01:14heard by the court.
01:16Mr Chopra no longer feels safe, has anxiety, and the robbery has altered his behaviour, so he tries to avoid
01:23risk, while he also now suffers from nightmares.
01:27Mr Chopra no longer feels safe, while there is the one who has lost his breath space.
01:29Mr Chopra no longer feels safe, but he replaced his way to the court.
01:29Mr Chopra no longer feels safe to have had his life, so he's educated that he can't keep track of
01:30the act,
