Woman tries to stop a fight between two men and gets beaten up with batons by authorities instead
A young British woman who was trying to break up a fight between two men in Magaluf, Majorca, was attacked by a Spanish police officer, and now the footage of the incident has gone viral.
Two men, reportedly British, are seen having an altercation in the street when the unnamed woman steps in to stop the fight. Moments later, two Civil Guard authorities arrive at the scene and begin assaulting all three British nationals with their batons, without any audible or visible warning. The policemen are seen attacking the innocent young woman with full force before pushing her male friend onto the pavement. She is later heard in the video crying out in pain.
Twenty-two-year-old Danielle Finlay Brookes from Cheshire, who works at the bar across the road from where the argument occurred, caught the whole incident on camera. According to her, this is not the first time British tourists have been specifically targeted by the Guardia Civil. In the past, authorities in Magaluf, a town famous as a "party destination" among Brits and fellow Europeans, have vowed to crack down on uncivilized tourists, Daily Mail reports.
