Brutal violence hits Magaluf’s infamous Punta Ballena strip: The 29-year-old Briton is arrested after a fight between two groups of men breaks out when someone tries to help the KO victim of ANOTHER brawl

A 29-year-old Briton has been arrested in Spain in connection with a brutal brawl at Magaluf’s infamous Punta Ballena party tent.

The man, whose name has not been released, was detained on suspicion of crimes, including misconduct, following the clash between two groups of youths.

Footage shows the youths waving to each other in a frenzied fight that saw one man knocked unconscious and others punched in the face with their knees.

It was not immediately clear which of the men filmed was the British national, described locally as the “main alleged instigator” of the violence.

The fight followed after a man tried to move a partygoer who had been knocked out in another brawl, with blood pouring from his head as he lay face down on the pavement.

Bystanders tried to prevent the man from lifting the unconscious youth off the floor, apparently fearing the situation would get worse before medics arrived.

But another reveler wearing a gray T-shirt took matters into his own hands, punching the man in the face and causing the unconscious youth’s head to fall to the ground.

Video shows more youths wading in to fight in the brawl, with the partygoers frantically attacking each other with punches and kicks to their bodies.

The two warring groups – two well-built men on one side and three smaller partiers on the other – can be seen pounding each other in front of a fast food takeaway.

At one point, one of the fighters found himself outnumbered at the entrance to the takeaway and was put in a submission hold by three revelers before being punched in the stomach.

But his friend, who had been filmed moments earlier unleashing a powerful right hook into the face of the man trying to lift the injured reveler off the ground, came running over and waved his right fist at one of the youths.

The impact caused the youngster to fall onto the counter of the pizza and burger takeaway and the two more powerfully built men were able to chase the others away as they fled the scene.

The disturbing scenes occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning.

It was not immediately clear this morning whether British or Irish tourists were involved in the orgy of violence.

Police could not be contacted to confirm whether they had made any arrests, but no one involved is said to have alerted local police.

In May, five police officers were injured in a mass brawl in Magaluf involving around 50 people.

Ten people were eventually arrested after the incident near a popular night spot called Panama Jack.

An initial local report indicated that the incident was sparked by a fight between a group of North African youths and Spaniards, but a group of Portuguese holidaymakers were later described as the main troublemakers.
