Three people have been injured, all between the aged of 20 and after a massive fight that took place at 06:15 on Tuesday morning in the popular Punta Ballena district of Magaluf.

Agents were called to the scene and although they found the three individuals lying on the beach, and all suffering from knife wounds to the head and the abdomen, according to witnesses the fight had petered out by the time they arrived.

Witnesses told the police the fight was “violent” and they believe at least one of the three men injured was “on a different side” as they saw him exchanging threats with another of the trio.

The Medical team that also attended the scene said that one of the men was unconscious and in a very serious condition. After treating him on the beach he was transferred to the Hospital of Son Espases where it is believed he underwent emergency surgery.

The other two individuals were also moved to hospital where they were treated for minor wounds.

Police believe thet there were other people injured in the fight but they managed to get away before the emergency services arrived.

The nationality of the men has not yet been confirmed but the Spanish press says police are hunting for the alleged attacker who is reported to be British.
