Vicious brawl breaks out at takeaway spot on notorious Magaluf party strip

Magaluf's notorious party strip Punta Ballena has been the scene of a brutal fight between two warring groups of young men.

Footage of the punch-up showed the orgy of violence flared when a man tried to move another lad by an ATM machine who was "KO" face-down on the pavement with blood coming from a head wound.

Bystanders tried to refrain him from lifting him up over their apparent concern it could make the situation worse for the injured man before the arrival of trained emergency medical responders.

But a well-built lad in shorts and a T-shirt decided to let his fists do the talking and waded in with a powerful right hook to his face. All hell then broke loose with two groups of brawlers - two well-built men on one side and three smaller lads on the other - smashing each other around the face and body.

At one point one of the muscled fighters found himself outnumbered at the entrance to a fast food takeaway - before the pal who had been filmed moments earlier unleashing a powerful right hook to the face of the man trying to lift the injured reveller from the ground, came running across and swung his right fist again.

The blow knocked him back onto the counter of the pizza and burger takeaway and enabled the two more powerfully-built men to chase the others away as they fled off into the darkness. The disturbing scenes occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning.

It was not immediately clear this morning if any British or Irish tourists had been involved in the ruck. Police could not be contacted to confirm whether they had made any arrests, but no one involved is understood to have alerted local law enforcement.

In May five police officers were injured during a mass brawl in Magaluf involving around 50 people. Ten people ended up being arrested following the incident near a popular nightspot called Panama Jack.

One initial local report pointed to the incident being sparked by a fight between a group of North African youngsters and Spaniards - but a group of Portuguese holidaymakers were later described as the main troublemakers.
