The man, aged 18, and his friends went out to help a young girl who was crying in the street near the Magma Club.
His mother, via social media, said that around 20 friends of the woman and her alleged partner sprang on him, knocked his down with a punt, and then kicked while he was unconscious.
“He was brutally assaulted when he returned to his home by a group of madmen,” she wrote.
“Not content to knock him down and leave him unconscious. They were kicking her head for a long time,” she continued.
The mother asked witnesses to give information to identify the attackers.
The owners of the nightclub, the Magma Group, issued a statement which condemned ‘any type of violence’ and wished ‘a speedy recovery to the young man attacked’.
They specified that the aggression ‘did not take place inside or in the direct vicinity of the Magma Room, but on a public road, many metres” from the building.
The Magma Group stressed that they are collaborating ‘actively’ with the Policia Nacional and has made available to them ‘all the technical and human means necessary to help identify those responsible’.
They added that it is so far ‘unknown whether or not they were previously in our premises’.
