Shocking footage captures moment woman hit with chair in wild hotel brawl
This is the manic moment a female tourist is clobbered in the head with a flying chair during a violent poolside brawl in Ibiza.
The dramatic footage was captured when a fight broke out between raging tourists at the Marco Polo hotel in the Spanish holiday hotspot.
In the wild video taken in San Antonio, a group of tourists are seen yelling at each other, with one woman dropping to the floor after being struck.
She appears to remain on the floor injured for the rest of the shocking clip, only moving briefly when staffers try to help her up.
The fight ramps up when one of the tourists who was also caught in the crossfire steps back before falling into the water.
Suddenly, his pal is then hit by a soaring white chair and also falls backwards.
The two tourists continue to tread water – until the same holiday-maker that hurled a chair moments before goes in for seconds.
He lifts up another poolside chair and proceeds to slam it down into his victim's bald head.
A group of lifeguards and security attempt to intervene, but their efforts amount to nothing as the chair-hurling man seemingly ignores them.
The two hurt holiday-makers then stay in the pool surrounded by foes, while their opposition continue to shout at and taunt them.
One of the men is even seen mocking the victims as he dances by the side of the pool.
A seemingly ironic sign, which reads 'Good Vibes Only', can be seen by the side of the pool.
Online users pointed this out when watching the chaotic clip, with one user saying: 'Good vibes only sign does it for me.'
The account that posted the viral video captioned the brawl: 'The chaos was temporary. The memories? Permanent.'
Other viewers seemed to find the mayhem absolutely hilarious, and heavy speculation suggested the men were all British.
One user commented: 'Can smell the Stella, Joop and British passports from here.'
Another said: 'Typical British behaviour.'
But some viewers were outraged by the fight.
One account said: 'Doesn't look like good fun happening there. Looks too intimidating and aggressive. No thanks.'
While another said: 'Embarrassingly British.'
It is unclear if the men were British nationals, and the hotel have not commented on the brawl which left one woman lying on the floor.
In 2022, two people ended up in the sea when a mass brawl erupted in Ibiza after Brits were reportedly banned from a party boat.
The fight saw brawlers punching each other and rubbish bins being used as weapons in the popular resort of San Antonio.
The chair-throwing fight also comes after an EasyJet passenger on board a flight to Ibiza was left petrified after a group of rowdy 'drunk' Brits turned her journey into a 'nightclub'.
Furious Spaniard Erika Barrachina claimed she suffered a 'panic attack' after having to cope with 'scum' passengers.
The Ibiza resident blasted that these type of tourists should never have been allowed to board the plane in the first place.
Shocking footage showed a packed plane with passengers appearing to bang on luggage compartments and yell: 'Come on Ibiza!'

Brad Pitt's F1: The Movie is undeniably thrilling and infuriatingly unrealistic
F1: The Movie was always going to struggle to set itself apart from the runaway hit Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive. What: A middle-aged driver's improbable comeback to the elite world of F1 racing. Starring: Brad Pitt and Damson Idris Directed by: Joseph Kosinski When: In cinemas now Likely to make you feel: Pumped with adrenaline, but disappointed The multi-season reality TV show has been following F1 drivers, team managers and owners on and off the race track for seven seasons, elevating drivers to global stardom and introducing the sport to new, diverse audiences. And the viewers have been lapping it up. This perhaps explains the film's ludicrous plot. F1 stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a middle-aged, washed up driver who retired from the limelight after a near-fatal crash at the Spanish Grand Prix 30 years ago. He now spends his days filling in at a hodgepodge of motorsport competitions — from the 24 Hours of Daytona race in the US to the Baja 100 in Mexico. Some call him a has-been. Others think he's a never-was. Enter Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of the fictional Expensify APX GP F1 team and Sonny's former teammate. APX GP hasn't scored a single point for the past two-and-a-half seasons and they're in desperate need of a lead driver to mentor their second: impatient rookie Joshua Pearce (played by a delightfully cheeky Damson Idris). Mid-season and with few other options, Ruben begs Sonny to take the role. Queue an intense rivalry between Joshua and Sonny, who clash over their age gap, racing strategies, attitudes and everything in between. Joshua is young, Black, British and so desperate for a long-term career in a sport that's historically been the playground of the white and elite that he's happy to function as a walking advertisement and do everything by the book. Despite the overconfidence he projects, he still has a lot to learn. Sonny is an achingly American older hunk of a white man who swans around in rose-tinted glasses with little awareness of his privilege and too much charm for his own good. He refuses to play the PR game or follow any rules, and his idea of race preparation involves donning a lucky pair of odd socks. And yet, with Sonny on board and just a few tweaks to their cars, APX GP somehow manages to turn themselves into real contenders in a handful of races. To say this is implausible is putting it lightly. But especially considering that a big part of APX GP's new-found success comes down to Sonny's "race strategies", which would better be described as dangerous race manipulation that in real life would more likely result in life-threatening injuries and penalties than podiums. It's surprising a movie produced by none other than seven-time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton takes so many liberties in depicting the sport. The narrative opportunities the F1 movie fumbles are similarly disappointing. You'd expect Sonny to have some kind of trauma to work through from his near-death experience driving an F1 car 30 years ago, but no. He's apparently fine to resume racing as if nothing ever happened. When Joshua faces a similarly horrifying crash, he too carries on racing with little fanfare. And while the F1 movie features an impressively diverse cast, it frequently does its marginalised characters a disservice. There's the time the only woman on the APX GP pit crew makes a crucial error at a pit stop. There's Kate McKenna (Kerry Condon), who may be the first woman to serve as APX GP's technical director, but the bulk of her storyline involves her breaking her "no sleeping with co-workers" rule for a certain driver. And when Joshua, a second-generation immigrant, points out he's had to work twice as hard to get where he is, Sonny quips that he only deserves a meaningless participation trophy. But what the F1 movie lacks in a plausible narrative and depth, it makes up for in its sleek original score from the inimitable Hans Zimmer, and undeniably thrilling driving sequences. Director Joseph Kosinski, the man behind Top Gun: Maverick, is unsurprisingly adept at making viewers feel as if they are the ones in the cockpit, and this film has the bonus of being filmed on real circuits during race weekends — from Silverstone in the UK to Monza in Italy. The F1 movie is at its best when realistically blurring fiction with reality. There are countless cameos throughout this film, from Red Bull's reigning world champion driver, Max Verstappen, to Mercedes chief executive Toto Wolff and prominent F1 commentator and journalist Will Buxton. A biopic looking at Hamilton's journey to F1 and subsequent super stardom would have likely meant more to the fans and had something of note to say — beyond ageism being 'bad' and feeling the fear and doing things anyway being 'good'. But as a fictionalised version of Drive to Survive that requires total suspension of disbelief, F1 is serviceable. Particularly for F1 fans who are into cameos, newcomers who don't care about plausibility … and people who simply want to ogle 61-year-old Pitt shirtless, physical abuse allegations and all. F1 is in cinemas now.

‘Disgraceful': Chaos erupts as roof caves in at Son Sant Joan Airport
A roof has collapsed at a busy airport in holiday hotspot sparking chaos in the arrivals hall. Debris and glass were seen cascading from the roof of the Son Sant Joan Airport in Majorca on Tuesday as staff tried calming terrified passengers. Pictures of the shocking scene show shattered glass on the floor and smashed up vending machines. While crowds are seen gathered in a corner of the airport to avoid the mass of debris scattered across the floor. A 'loud bang' was heard before streams of glass and roof material tumbled to the ground. Passengers were rushed to safety, while police cordoned off the area to investigate the incident. Airport workers said afterwards it was a 'miracle' no-one had been seriously injured. The incident happened after a piece of debris fell and tore through the airport's roof raising concerns of the structure's safety, said Spanish airports authority AENA. An AENA spokesman told local press: 'People in charge of the airport are already analysing what happened in order to adopt the appropriate measures and to determine responsibilities if necessary.' Airport security staff cleared the affected area as holiday-makers watched on from nearby. One English-speaking woman could be overheard saying: 'Oh my God' as a cloud of dust rose from the ground where part of the roof had fallen. Meanwhile, local Juan Antonio Bauza dubbed Palma Airport 'the worst in Spain' in a social media post this evening. The sports reporter said on X: 'I imagine someone will have to assume responsibility for this.' Renovation works at the airport have been criticised by workers and air passengers. In January, one of the building's panels fell to the ground causing dust and disruption. One airport worker told local press at the time: 'Neither employees or passengers could breathe and many people were slipping because of the dust on the ground. 'Having to work in these sorts of conditions is disgraceful.' Another told Majorcan paper Diario de Mallorca: 'Passengers had to put masks on because of the air contamination.' An airport spokesperson said: 'Airport officials are already analysing what happened to take appropriate measures and determine responsibility if necessary'. It comes as Spain has seen a huge influx of tourists arriving for summer holidays causing a flurry of anti-tourism protests across the country. Spain's anti-mass tourism movement began gaining serious momentum in April 2024 – particularly in popular tourist destinations like Majorca. Locals have been demanding an end to the problems associated with mass tourism, including pollution, traffic chaos, the lack of affordable housing and low wages for tourism workers. Earlier this month, protester took over the Majorcan capital city of Palma calling for all tourists to get out. Campaigners from 'Menys Turisme, Més Vida' (Less Tourism, More Life) halted a bus, climbed onto it and unfurled a banner calling for an end to mass tourism. In a video shared on social media, the group said it was 'tired' of the current system and 'ready to break the tourism status quo'. It says urgent change is needed to put locals' wellbeing ahead over the interests of the tourism industry.
