International manhunt underway for British man accused of 'Magaluf hit-and-run that injured two'
An international manhunt is underway for a British man who was accused of mowing down two people, including a British teenager, in a 'hit-and-run' in Magaluf. A warrant has been issued for Jack Benjamin Hulme, 31, who had allegedly been drinking before he drove his hire car into a crowd in Majorca on March 23, 2023. He reportedly knocked down a British man, 19, and sent a Polish woman, 20, flying in the air. He was released on bail by a Spanish judge following 36 hours in custody, but an arrest warrant has been issued after he failed to respond to court officials' attempts to contact him. The ongoing judicial case has been suspended until Hulme is located. Hulme, who faces extradition following his arrest, is facing trial on five offences. Three people standing next to the victims managed to run out of the way and reach safety as the car veered towards them, The Mirror reported. Footage of the incident showed the Polish woman lying unconscious on her back as the car sped away. Hulme allegedly had an argument with another British man whose girlfriend had fallen out with his partner prior to the incident. He allegedly stormed off before mounting the pavement outside a fast-food restaurant and hitting two pedestrians, who were reportedly not involved in the dispute. Hulme was arrested at nearby Son Matias beach and initially held on suspicion of attempted homicide. He was later charged with lesser offences, including two counts of wounding, reckless driving and drink-driving. Both victims of the alleged hit-and-run survived without serious injury. In his initial court appearance, Hulme alleged he had not intended to run anyone over, but could not see properly because someone had 'sprayed him in the eyes' with an aerosol. A judge reportedly lost his patience with Hulme, who had to register contact details with court officials as part of his bail conditions. A spokesman for Spanish police previously 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.' They added: '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.'

Double hit-and-run suspect is missing: International arrest warrant issued for British man arrested after allegedly mowing down two holidaymakers in Magaluf
An international arrest warrant has been issued for a British man who was arrested after allegedly mowing down two holidaymakers in a horror 'hit-and-run' in Spain. Jack Benjamin Hulme, 31, was accused of mowing down two pedestrians in Magaluf, Majorca in the early hours of March 23, 2023 - but he was released on bail by a Spanish judge after just 36 hours in police custody. But today it emerged he is now a wanted man after failing to respond to attempts to contact him by court officials. The ongoing judicial case has been suspended until Hulme, who faces extradition following his eventual arrest, is located. The fugitive Brit, said to have been drinking before knocking down a 19-year-old British man and a 20-year-old Polish woman, is facing trial on five offences. Three people standing next to the victims managed to run out of the way and reach safety as the car veered towards them. It is understood that Hulme got into a row with another British man whose girlfriend had fallen out with his partner prior to the incident. He left the scene of the fight in a rage before mounting the pavement outside a fast-food restaurant and injuring the two unsuspecting victims who were described as simply 'being in the wrong place at the wrong time.' Horrifying footage shows the Polish woman lying unconscious on her back with her shirt open after the car sped away. Miraculously both victims survived without serious injury. Hulme was arrested at nearby Son Matias beach after a police manhunt. He alleged during his initial court appearance he had not intended to run anyone over but couldn't see properly because someone had previously 'sprayed him in the eyes' with an aerosol. A judge 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. Eventually, he declared Hulme in contempt of court before issuing an international arrest warrant. Hulmes was arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide after the incident, but was charged with lesser crimes which include two counts of wounding, reckless driving, and a drink-drive offence. Public prosecutors are demanding a four-year prison sentence if he is found guilty at trial. A spokesman for the Spanish police 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.' They added: '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.' It follows a similar case where Brit Max Barnes, 25, was held on an international arrest warrant issued by a court in Palma after being bailed and going AWOL following a bottle attack on a Magaluf bouncer in July 2019. Officials also issued the arrest order after he failed to respond to court communications. The Briish man was handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence in June after being tracked down and admitting the unprovoked attack at The Plaza bar at the end of Magaluf's bustling Punta Ballena strip as part of a plea bargain deal. Barnes, who had already paid his victim nearly £35,000 in compensation, admitted his guilt in a trial where he spoke briefly via videoconference. CCTV footage showed the Lithuanian bouncer reacting to the bottle attack in the packed nightspot by leaving Barnes on the ground with a flurry of punches before bringing his hand to his blood-covered face and neck. The 34-year-old was left with a gash wound needing 20 stitches according to public prosecutors, although local reports subsequently put the number of stitches at 50.

A British man has died after reportedly going to Turkey for a hair transplant.

A spokesman for the clinic told The Telegraph: 'All relevant medical documentation related to this incident has been submitted to the appropriate authorities, and the matter is currently being investigated by judicial bodies. 'Due to the ongoing legal process and out of respect for the family's privacy, no further details will be disclosed at this time.'
