Mallorca bar stabbing: two Britons arrested in Magaluf

A fight at a bar in Magaluf, Calvià, Mallorca, leaves two Irish tourists injured on 19 September: one is stabbed in the chest and suffers a punctured lung. The Guardia Civil has arrested two British men, aged 36 and 46, on suspicion of attempted murder. The other tourist suffers cuts to his neck and a broken jaw.

The man with the chest wound is taken to Son Espases Hospital for emergency surgery. His lung has been punctured. The second tourist is cut several times with a piece of glass and beaten, breaking his jaw. He also receives hospital treatment.

Investigators first identify and arrest the suspected stabber, a Briton who lives in the area. A search of his home turns up bloodstained clothes and other items of interest to the investigation. A court orders him held in prison.

Police arrest the second suspect on 21 October. He is released subject to conditions.
