As part of his bail, Hulme was ordered to register his contact details with court officials and notify them of any move. But after failing to comply, a judge declared him in contempt and issued an international arrest warrant. A Spanish police spokesman confirmed at the time: 'A British man who was on holiday in Majorca has been arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide following an early-hours hit-and-run incident in Magaluf. 'He was held at nearby Son Matias beach after a police search for him and his vehicle. 'The incident was preceded by some sort of argument that is still under investigation. 'One of the people hurt was a Polish woman and the other a British man. Both were also on holiday in the area.' The case echoes a string of violent incidents involving Brits in Magaluf.

He was eventually tracked down and handed an 18-month suspended sentence after paying his victim £35,000.

International manhunt for Brit after Magaluf 'hit and run' injures tourists
An international arrest warrant has been issued for Jack Benjamin Hulme, 31, after he allegedly mowed down two people, including a teenage Brit, in a shocking Magaluf 'hit and run' An international manhunt has been launched for a British man accused of mowing down two tourists, including a UK teenager, in a horror Magaluf 'hit-and-run'. An arrest warrant has been issued for Jack Benjamin Hulme, 31, who was released on bail by a Spanish judge after 36 hours in police custody. The Brit is now a wanted man after he failed to respond to attempts to contact him by court officials. The fugitive Brit had allegedly been drinking before driving at a group of people in his hire car and knocking down a 19-year-old British man while sending a 20-year-old Polish woman flying. It comes after video of the moment a family attacks a woman complaining over a child kicking chair on flight emerged. Another three people next to the victims - a woman they had been chatting to and two men a couple of feet away - managed to run out of the way and reach safety as the car approached at speed and veered towards them. The 31-year-old, who faces extradition following his eventual arrest, is now facing trial on five offences. Shocking footage of the horror moment, from March 30, 2023, showed the Polish woman was left unconscious on her back with her shirt open. Hulme allegedly rowed with a British man whose girlfriend had gotten into a scrap with his partner, before the horror collision. The suspect was said to have left the scene in a rage before mounting the pavement outside a fast-food restaurant and allegedly injuring two people, who were not involved in the row. Miraculously they survived without serious injury and they were described as being "in the wrong place at the wrong time". Hulme was arrested at nearby Son Matias beach on suspicion of attempted homicide after the incident after a police manhunt, but was charged with lesser crimes which include two counts of wounding, reckless driving, and a drink-drive offence. Police, before being marched to court in handcuffs, said: "A British man who was on holiday in Majorca has been arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide following an early-hours hit-and-run incident in Magaluf. He was held at nearby Son Matias beach after a police search for him and his vehicle. "The incident was preceded by some sort of argument that is still under investigation. One of the people hurt was a Polish woman and the other a British man. Both were also on holiday in the area." During his initial court appearance, he is understood to have claimed he hadn't intended to run anyone over but couldn't see properly because someone had previously "sprayed him in the eyes" with an aerosol. A judge reportedly lost patience with the Brit, who had to register contact details with court officials as part of his bail conditions and agree to inform them of any change of address, and declared him in contempt of court before issuing the international arrest warrant.
