Two Brits are facing up to 10 years in prison after they allegedly attacked bar staff in Majorca with broken glass when they were refused more drinks.
The brawl took place at 2am on June 22 last year when staff cut them off after they verbally harassed other customers inside a restaurant in Palmanova, next to Magaluf.
The unnamed men, then aged 24 and 34, pushed a female employee to the floor, causing her to hit her head, after being told they couldn’t drink any more alcohol.
They then struck a colleague from behind, using a glass as a weapon after he tried to intervene in the scrap which was captured on CCTV.
A customer who tried to de-escalate the brawl was hit in the neck with broken shards of glass during a physical struggle, which saw the glass shatter in one of the attacker’s hands.
The female employee also suffered cuts to her legs from the glass which shattered on the floor.
The men were arrested soon after the attack and held in custody.
The Spanish Public Prosecutor’s Office is requesting ten years in prison for both men with a trial set to be held at a criminal court in Palma.

The accused are also liable to pay a compensation €15,450 euros to the victims, who were rushed to hospital after the brawl.
Following the attack, a spokesman for the Civil Guard said: ‘Two people aged 24 and 33 have been arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide, wounding and causing serious public disorder following an incident at a nightspot in Palmanova.
‘Officers sent to Majorca as part of summer reinforcements were carrying out routine security patrols when they were alerted a mass fight was occurring in a premises near to where they were.
‘They saw a man covered in blood brandishing a broken bottle who was attacking others present.
‘They quickly reduced him and got the broken bottle off him.
‘Staff said he, his companion and two others who had fled the scene had attacked employees and two strangers.
‘The officers requested medical backup so they could assist the three people who had been hurt.
‘Given the depth of their injuries and the fact they affected vital areas, they were transferred to Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital Palma where they were given stitches to open wounds in their neck, head, arms and legs.
‘The blood-covered man, who was the 24-year-old, was arrested along with his 33-year-old companion.’
