Pro footballer knocks out woman with a chair during pool brawl at Ibiza hotel
Oldham Athletic striker Kian Harratt has been identified as the man who threw a chair at a woman during a poolside fight at a hotel in Ibiza. The 23-year-old, who scored a dramatic extra-time winner for Oldham in the National League play-off final at Wembley earlier this month, was involved in a brawl between two groups on men at the Marco Polo Hotel in San Antonio. In the footage, Harratt can be seen throwing a white chair in the direction of a group of men following an argument, however, it hit a woman who appeared to be attempting to break up the confrontation. The woman immediately hit the ground before a member of hotel staff checked on her by the pool as the fight carried on. Two more chairs were thrown during the melee, knocking one man into the pool, before more hotel staff rushed over to Harratt and ordered him to leave the area. The footage went viral on social media while Harratt reposted a clip of the fight on his TikTok account before removing it. Harratt has also liked several comments on a separate post on his TikTok account which read: 'Keep chairs down my brother' and 'my striker plz stay out of trouble now'. Brandon Watkins from Nuneaton, who was one of the men involved in the bust-up with Harratt, wrote in a post on Facebook: 'Five lads came to our hotel being nobs around the pool splashing people throwing balls at women and one lad says 'what are you looking at' so he approaches me and I drop him… they then start throwing chairs because they couldn't fight and everyone knows how slippy it is round a pool so stopping chairs hitting us I slip in the pool and that's what went viral. 'If they let me get back out the pool or got in with me then they would have been slapped again but they didn't they got kicked out. Everyone sat around the pool after was coming up to us shaking our hands and buying us drinks because the lads were bellends!' Meanwhile, another British holidaymaker, Kyle Crawford, has alleged that Harratt and three of his friends were 'being horrible' to a group of women, which led to the fight. 'There was four lads, we didn't know who they were, being horrible to some women,' he told The Sun. 'They were just in the pool splashing them and throwing balls at them – being proper immature 'Me and my mates stuck up for them and then in the end, they'd come to attack my mate.' In December, Harratt was fined over £1,153 after he was caught poaching in North Yorkshire. Last year, Harratt was also banned for four months and fined £3,200 after admitting breaking the Football Association's betting rules by placing 484 bets on matches. Harratt, who was born in Pontefract, made his professional debut with Huddersfield Town in December 2019. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
