A BRITISH national wanted for slashing an bouncer’s cheek with a bottle on Mallorca has been arrested.
Interpol Agents have arrested a young Brit accused of ‘smashing a Magaluf bouncer in the face with a broken bottle.’
A warrant of arrest had been issued by an international agency for the 19 year old since the attack in which a security guard needed 50 facial stitching.
The incident happened in summer 2019 when the teenager was asked to leave The Plaza Bar on the Magaluf Strip.
When he was refused entry, he reportedly hit the Lithuanian bouncer twice in the face with a broken glass.
The man initially claimed to have acted in self-defense, but investigators viewed the CCTV footage and charged him with criminal behavior.
After his initial arrest in Spain, he paid €15,000 in bail, promptly returning to the UK and failing to respond to court communications.
Officials in Mallorca issued the arrest warrant for ‘wounding with a dangerous weapon’ soon after.
Now, prosecutors are pushing for a five year prison sentence as well as €27,476 in compensation for the victim.
The bouncer was reportedly left ‘disfigured’, with serious injuries attended to by surgeons.
