Bouncers pin tourist to ground on magaluf beach after beating
This is the moment bouncers and tourists were involved in an extraordinary brawl on a beach on the Spanish holiday island of Majorca.
Holidaymakers watched on in horror as violent scenes erupted on the sand outside a club at the party resort of Magaluf.
At one point, a doorman can be seen putting a tourist in a chokehold after a brutal exchange of punches and kicks before dumping him on the sand.
The victim of the martial-arts-style stronghold, wearing just a pair of swimming shorts, comes round in seconds but still looks groggy after getting to his feet.The catalyst for the confusing incident appeared to be a push by one of the tourists on a bouncer sitting astride one of his friends.
Several doormen from the unidentified venue were filmed rushing over to the spot where the male holidaymaker was being restrained as his friends went to intervene.The two sides could be seen arguing, before chaotic scenes unfolded in front of families.
Young children close to the violence watched a flurry of fists and kicks which ended with at least three people on the sand.The bouncer filmed performing a chokehold could be seen calmly walking away as his victim lay motionless on the sand.
The cause of the original dispute which led to a doorman at the beach club restraining a tourist by sitting on him was not immediately clear today.
The nationalities of the holidaymakers at the centre of the violence, one of whom was carrying an orange beach towel in his hands, is unknown.
The bouncers retreated to the venue they worked at as the group of men they fought with headed along the beach in the opposite direction.
None of the onlookers, who included a sunseeker holding his toddler son in his arms, appeared to make any attempt to call the police.
