The pain in Spain falls mainly on Sin Street, or Pecat Street as the locals know it. The popular late-night area turned into a warzone in the early hours of July 23 as a massive street brawl was captured on CCTV footage.
The cause of the fight remains unknown despite an investigation, but the leading explanation is that a disagreement with a bouncer quickly escalated – as these things usually do when late-night boozing is involved.
The video shows people throwing chairs and bottles at each other, while some used metal pipes and good old fists to hit anyone within striking distance. The violence lasted for about a minute before those involved tried to flee the scene, with around 30 to 40 people allegedly involved in the brawl.
The street, officially known as Primer de Maig Street, is lined with bars and restaurants. It serves as a popular destination for British tourists, but it remains unknown whether any of those involved in starting the fight or escalating it were British.
This latest fight happened as more and more tourist destinations are growing fed-up with unruly British holidaymakers whom locals claim ‘are the worst’.
No arrests were made, and no suspect was identified as the instigator, but two cops suffered dislocated joints, and another had cuts after a glass bottle hit them.
A fight at another British tourist hot spot broke out when a group of young people refused to pay the entry fee for a nightclub, and a bouncer tried to turn them away. The club’s staff fought back when the youths tried to throw glass bottles at the bouncer and force their way in.
The suspects fled as soon as police showed up, but authorities arrested one individual, an 18-year-old, who went to the hospital with an injury on his face.
