Two scantily clad British women roll on the floor during a bar fight in Mallorca as British holidaymakers shout “Fight, fight, fight!” – hours after new rules to tackle drunkenness were announced

This is the chilling moment two female British tourists fight at a tourist resort in Mallorca.

One of the women was wearing a thong, but that didn’t stop her from putting her rival in a stranglehold and then attempting a Good Samaritan to separate them before turning her attention back to her rival.

Witnesses egged the pair on as they made a spectacle of themselves with their late-night show.

A group of British women watching from a safe distance shouted: “Fight, fight, fight” as the fighters pushed and punched each other.

The scandal took place on Saturday evening in Cala d’Or on Mallorca’s south-east coast, in an area packed with bars and restaurants, hours after regional government officials announced a tightening of legislation aimed at stamping out drunken tourism in seaside party resorts . island including parts of Magaluf.

The incident was defused with the help of locals and the police were reportedly not called.

Under changed legislation announced on Friday, British tourists have been warned they could face fines of up to £1,300 if they are caught drinking alcohol on the street in places such as the Punta Ballena marquee in Magaluf.

Shops selling alcohol have also been ordered to close after 9:30 pm in the evening.

The areas covered by the amendment to a four-year-old regional government decree against so-called ‘tourism of excesses’ are roughly the same as before and include parts of some of Mallorca and Ibiza’s most brash resorts, including Magaluf and San Antonio , which is most popular with British people.

Saturday evening’s incident is also being seized upon by activists protesting against the overcrowding of tourists.

Demonstrations took place in the Canary Islands last month.

On May 25, a demonstration was called in a central square in the Mallorcan capital Palma.

Protesters will try to make their voices heard under the slogan: ‘Mallorca is not for sale’ as they call on their politicians to tackle some of the problems they say are making their lives a misery, including clogged roads and lack of access to affordable housing.
