The unidentified British tourist and his pals were getting rowdy with bouncers in a Benidorm bar when a local intervened and knocked him unconscious
A British tourist was knocked out cold when a Spanish local sucker-punched him during a row with bouncers in Benidorm.
A fellow reveller captured the moment the unidentified Brit fell to the floor after the vicious sucker punch at a bar in the Spanish resort town on Sunday night.
Eyewitnesses recalled how another pubgoer had asked him and his pals to leave when a bouncer decided to intervene. The tension racheted up and things became “heated”, one person said.
In the footage, the Brit dressed in a white outfit is pushed by a group of men. His friend then steps in before the man is brutally punched in the face and falls to the floor. Shockingly, his leg can also be seen bending unnaturally back towards his hip.
A woman with a pink cowboy hat on her head rushes over and crouches over him while the man’s friends carry on with their brawl.
Another reveller said: “It’s always the d***head Brits – it makes you ashamed to be a Brit sometimes. We’d been in there for two hours or so – it seemed a nice bar and all of a sudden we heard a bit of a commotion.
“There was a smaller guy who we think was a local and he looked like a bouncer but looked a bit too small to be one. He was asking them to leave, and then the larger bouncer came over and things got a bit heated. It looks like the smaller guy then knocks him out. He was out cold, and his leg looked dislocated.”
The man’s condition is currently unknown.
It comes months after a Brit was left fighting for his life after being punched by a bouncer outside a Benidorm nightclub.
Andrew Frazer, 43, was allegedly floored by a doorman in an ‘unprovoked’ attack during a lads’ break to the famous Costa Blanca resort just over a week after proposing to long-term partner Carrie Howard. The father-of-two, from St Helens, Merseyside, had to have part of his skull cut away to relieve swelling on the brain.
He was taken back to the UK with a gruelling 27-hour journey in the back of a private ambulance because his injuries were too severe for a medical flight.
Overnight it emerged a 42-year-old Romanian man had been arrested over the early-hours incident on November 14 outside a pub in Benidorm’s famous Little England area. The unnamed suspect was held last week on suspicion of a crime of wounding.
