Shocking moment woman is knocked out after being hit in the head with a chair while brawl breaks out at an Ibiza hotel poolside
Raging tourists holidaying at the Marco Polo hotel in San Antonio started aggressively yelling at each other.
One women then suddenly dropped to the floor after being walloped by a plastic chair.
Despite her collapse the fight continued while she lay on the ground unmoving.
During the fall, she collided with one of the instigators, who subsequently fell in the pool.
In another act of aggression, a chair was thrown at a second man, and the impact resulted in him also falling into the pool.

A group of lifeguards and security attempted to intervene but were ignored.
Instead, the two hurt tourists remained in the pool while their opposition continuously mocked them.
The viral video was captioned: 'The chaos was temporary. The memories? Permanent.'
One user commented: 'Can smell the Stella, Joop and British passports from here.'
It comes as thousands of locals marched across Spain last week to tell Brits to 'go home' as part of widespread protests against so-called 'over tourism'.
Activists claim more than 30,000 people took to the streets of Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza to voice their frustrations about the impact of tourism on the island.
Protesters were heard chanting slogans against Airbnb and 'guiris' - the Spanish slang term used to describe Brits and other foreigners.
Footage shows Brits visibly shocked by the demonstrations, while some tourists were seen taking refuge on their accommodation balconies.

Which airlines are most likely to LOSE your baggage
From missed transfers to delayed flights, there's plenty that can go wrong when travelling abroad. But one major problem is lost baggage, which is easily every tourist's nightmare. Sun cream, medications, an entire holiday wardrobe, they're all essential items that might be kept in luggage. When it all goes missing and the carousel of cases winds by empty, it's sometimes enough to ruin a trip. Analysis of Trustpilot reviews mentioning lost baggage and media reports about different airlines revealed which companies lose luggage the most. The results were surprising, with budget airlines like Ryanair and Jet2 coming out the best. While the company with the highest mishandling rates was British Airways. According to the research, around 21 bags per 1,000 passengers are mishandled by the premium airline - though the British flag carrier disagrees with the methodology. The analysis - conducted by The Horse's Mouth - calculated a 2.10% chance of British Airways losing a passenger's bag. While TUI came second, with six bags mishandled per 1,000 passengers and a 0.6% chance. This is thought to be average in the industry. Wizzair and EasyJet followed, with 5 and 2.8 bags per 1,000 travellers respectively. Passengers jetting off with Virgin Atlantic have a 0.20% chance of losing their baggage. Jet2 performed second best, with 1.5 bags mishandled per 1,000 customers, and a 0.15% possibility of losing luggage. While budget airline Ryanair came out at the very top. Only 1.2 cases are lost by the airline per 1,000 passengers, and travellers face a 0.12% chance of their bag being mishandled by them. A British Airways spokesperson told the Daily Mail: 'These claims have no statistical credibility and should be treated with a high degree of scepticism. 'We take our customers' trust and the responsibility of delivering their bags very seriously. 'Once again, this type of poorly researched nonsense diminishes the hard work of colleagues within the industry.' Previously, it was revealed the surprising continent travellers were most likely to lose their luggage. According to aviation technology specialist Sita, 33.4 million bags were mishandled in 2024, down from 33.8 million the previous year. Passengers are twice as likely to experience luggage issues in Europe than in other parts of the world, despite the region reducing its mishandling rate to 12.3 bags per 1,000 passengers, recovering from 15.7 in 2022. The study revealed a notable cause: Europe's air transport industry handled record passenger volumes in 2024, with airports and airlines managing soaring baggage loads.

Why your morning commute takes longer in hot weather
Several UK train companies have warned customers to expect delays to their journeys due to the weather - but not the kind you may expect. Rather than storms that so often cause disruption to our railways, it is the hot and dry weather that is sparking issues. Train operators are trying to deal with dried-out and shrunk clay soil on which its rail tracks sit, as the UK experiences one of the hottest summers it has ever seen. This clay causes uneven tracks, making it necessary for train operators to slow down their trains for safety reasons. Passengers have been urged to check their journeys, as the speed restrictions could mean delays and even cancellations due to timetable changes. Here's some information about the changes and why they are necessary. Which train operators are affected? C2C is the latest operator which has had to amend its timetable from Monday in response to the track conditions, which it said have been affected by the driest spring in more than 50 years. From Monday, customers have been urged to check their journeys in advance. Simon Milburn, infrastructure director for Network Rail Anglia, said: 'We are really sorry for the disruption to passengers from the timetable alterations, but we need to keep everyone moving safely. 'Our teams are working together to keep running the best possible service for passengers, even with the significant challenges we face with clay soil following prolonged dry spells.' South Western Railway has also been affected, explaining it had seen some of the driest conditions for around 200 years. The clay soil embankments which support its tracks have dried out across long stretches of the route between Gillingham and Axminster. Why does this happen? Train operators have said the exceptionally dry spring and summer have sparked the issues across the network. The UK had its fifth-hottest July on record, according to provisional Met Office figures. This followed the UK's driest spring since records began in 1836. C2C, which operates between London and south Essex, said the clay soil underneath its lines had shrunk, causing the track to drop in places and become uneven. South Western Railway said because track levels have been disturbed, their trains cannot travel safely at their normal speeds. Last year Network Rail dropped 12,600 tonnes of ballast across the route to try to minimise the effects of clay shrinkage, but an exceptionally dry spring this year has meant that it hasn't been possible to eliminate track issues. It said it would need to rain for a solid three months for a soil moisture deficit not to impact services this summer. Network Rail said although this can happen across Britain, there are different soil types across the country, meaning soil moisture is a particular problem in southern England where there is a lot of clay in the ground. How will journeys be affected? C2C advised customers to check journey planners before they travel, as trains operate at slower speeds with journeys taking longer than usual. It said this may mean trains run at slightly different times, with a small number of services each day to be altered to start or terminate early. The alterations are expected to be in place for between two and three months. South Western Railway said due to the speed restrictions between Gillingham and Axminster, an amended timetable is in place for services between London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids. This means only one train is running every two hours rather than the usual one per hour. It said train services between London Waterloo and Yeovil Junction are also taking approximately 25 minutes longer than usual between Tisbury and Yeovil Junction. It said the timetable changes will be in place until further notice.

Polish police bust smuggling networks and seize drugs worth $275 million
WARSAW, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Polish police said on Tuesday they had dismantled a number of interlinked drug smuggling networks that operated across Europe, seizing narcotics worth 1 billion zlotys ($275 million). The core of the criminal groups were Poles living in Spain, Poland's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBSP) said in a statement, with some members having links to Polish football hooliganism. "During the investigation, 600 kilograms of marijuana, 180 kilograms of hashish, 40 kilograms of amphetamine sulfate, as well as seven firearms and several hundred rounds of ammunition were seized," the CBSP said. The core group trafficked drugs to several parts of Europe, mainly the Republic of Ireland, Germany, Austria and Scandinavia. The investigation was conducted together with law enforcement agencies from a number of European Union countries, the CBSP said. ($1 = 3.6361 zlotys)
