Moment British teenager is punched to the ground by bouncer after smashing a bottle in his face when he was asked to leave Magaluf nightclub
This is the moment a Magaluf doorman leaves a teenage British tourist on the ground with a flurry of punches after reacting to being bottled in a horror attack. CCTV footage showed the Lithuanian bouncer exploding and using his fists to defend himself in the packed nightspot 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 today put the number of stitches at 50. Prosecutors had demanded a five-year prison sentence for Max Barnes, now 25, who was held on an international arrest warrant after being bailed and going AWOL following the attack. The Brit, 19 at the time of the early-hours incident on July 31 2019, claimed after his arrest by Civil Guard officers that he had acted in self-defence by responding to a previous assault. But yesterday he was handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence after 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 video-conference. Trial judges said they were taking his confession and compensation payment into account in allowing him to remain a free man as long as he doesn't reoffend. The CCTV footage from the bar did not show the moment Barnes used a broken bottle to disfigure the doorman. But it did show the run-up to the attack when the Lithuanian man, who was wearing a white T-shirt, could be heard arguing with the Brit after telling him he had to leave because he was misbehaving. It also showed the doorman's reaction to being assaulted as he responded by putting Barnes on the floor in the packed bar with a series of well-aimed punches. The Brit was held in the UK on an international arrest warrant after paying £13,000 bail to get out of prison and flying back home. Officials in Majorca issued the arrest order after he failed to respond to court communications. Public prosecutors said in their pre-trial indictment they had uncovered no evidence of the previous attack Barnes had alleged took place and claimed he was defending himself against. In November 2023 a British soldier prosecuted over a glass attack on her holiday friend in a Magaluf nightclub escaped prison and was let off with a £780 fine. Bus driver's daughter Sydney Cole was arrested when her Scots-born Lance Corporal pal Sarah Garrity was left in intensive care after losing four pints of blood and needing 14 stitches to a neck wound. She was warned initially she could be jailed for three years after being charged with a crime of wounding by Spanish state prosecutors despite her victim's refusal to press charges. Cole, serving in the Adjutant General's Corps based at Fort George Barracks in Inverness when the horror incident happened on April 15 2019, avoided prison after confessing to hurting Sarah as part of a plea bargain deal. Irvine, Ayrshire-born Sarah, who was serving in the Royal Logistics Corps when she was critically injured, triggered the early release of Cole from prison days after her arrest and preventative remand in custody after telling police and court officials she did not want to press charges. Prosecutors decided to continue trying to build a case against the accused woman after witnesses told police the attacker threw a glass directly at Sarah's neck during a row at Magaluf's Banana's nightclub following an all-day drinking session. Cole, now 25, initially insisted after her arrest her holiday pal was hurt in an accident when she threw the glass on the floor during the fight with her and shards from it hit Sarah in the neck before striking her plea bargain deal.
