Shocking moment Magaluf doorman floors Brit tourist, 25, with flurry of punches after being bottled in horror bar attack
THIS is the shocking moment a Magaluf doorman floors a British tourist with a flurry of punches after being bottled in a horror attack.
The bouncer was left with a nasty gash that needed at least 20 stitches - and the Brit has been convicted over the assault at Plaza on the bustling Punta Ballena strip.

CCTV footage shows the Lithuanian bouncer exploding at Max Barnes, then 19, who he has up against a wall after the drinker bottled him.
He unloads a series of sharp jabs in the packed nightspot, acting in self-defence.
The customer dodges as many as he can but some of the blows land home.
They spill over into the middle of the bar, when the bouncer delivers one more clean whack that sends the customer sprawling onto the floor.
He then brings his hand to his blood-covered face and neck to inspect the damage.
The 34-year-old doorman was left with a gash wound needing 20 stitches, according to public prosecutors.
Prosecutors had demanded a five-year prison sentence for Barnes, now 25, who was held on an international arrest warrant after being bailed and going awol.
The Brit, a teen at the time of the July 2019, claimed after his arrest by Civil Guard officers that he himself had acted in self-defence following a previous assault.
But this week he was handed an 18-month suspended prison sentence after admitting the unprovoked attack 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.

The trial judges said they took into account his confession and compensation payments in their decision to keep him out of jail - as long as he doesn't re-offend.
The obtained CCTV footage 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, in a tight white T-shirt, could be heard arguing with the Brit after telling him to leave due to misbehaviour.
The Brit was held in the UK on an international arrest warrant after initially 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.
A female British soldier was involved in another horror glass attack in a Magaluf nightclub in November 2023.
Bus driver's daughter Sydney Cole was arrested when her pal, Scots-born Lance Corporal Sarah Garrity, was left in intensive care after losing four pints of blood and needing 14 stitches to a neck wound.
Cole 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.
However, she ultimately escaped prison and was let off with a £780 fine.
Cole, now 25, initially insisted after her arrest that Sarah was hurt in an accident.
She claimed to have thrown the the glass on the floor during the fight, and said shard flew up and hit Sarah in the neck.
However, she later confessed to the assault as part of a plea bargain deal.

Huge update after man was allegedly attacked by freed immigration detainee at Footscray intersection
Police are expected to lay more serious charges against a former immigration detainee after a man died following an alleged violent assault in Melbourne. Emergency services were called to the intersection of Nicholson and Paisley Streets in Footscray at around 10am last Sunday after reports of an assault. Dominic O'Brien, 62, was found with critical injuries and rushed to hospital, where his condition deteriorated over the week. He died in hospital on Saturday morning. The 62-year-old was a photographer who had previously worked in the media, according to The Age, which was one of the outlets that employed him. Police arrested 43-year-old Lominja Friday Yokoju on the same day as the incident, charging him with intentionally causing serious injury. Victoria Police said investigators will consider alternative charges following the results of a post-mortem. He has been remanded and will appear before Melbourne Magistrates' Court on October 20. Mr Yokoju is accused of approaching Mr O'Brien, speaking to him briefly, before allegedly hitting him and stamping on his head while he was on the ground. The 43-year-old is believed to have been among more than 200 people released from immigration detention in late 2023 after the landmark High Court decision in NZYQ v Minister for Immigration. 116 of the men released were violent offenders, including convicted murderers. The ruling found indefinite immigration detention was unlawful where there was no realistic prospect of deportation. At the time of his arrest, Mr Yokoju was reportedly living on a bridging visa and had no fixed address. Mr Yokoju is due to appear for a committal hearing at Melbourne Magistrates' Court on October 20.

Major development after baby girl injured in fire extinguisher prank that sent shockwaves around Australia
Two teenage boys have been charged after they allegedly sprayed a fire extinguisher into a car carrying a five-month-old baby and her father in Queensland. Aussie dad Leon and his baby, Pixie, were stopped at a red light in Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast, when the teens allegedly rode up on an e-bike and sprayed the fire extinguisher through the car's back window at 7.50pm on June 15. On Saturday, police announced that two teens from Buderim had been arrested over the incident. A 15-year-old boy was charged with 13 offences, including two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. A 14-year-old boy was also charged with six offences, including two counts of wilful damage and assault occasioning bodily harm. Police will allege they had stolen the fire extinguisher from a nearby carpark on Courage Street earlier that night. Pixie was rushed to hospital where she had to have 100ml of saline solution put in her eyes to clean off the chemical powder. 'It was the most horrible scream I've ever heard in my life,' her mother, Tiffani Teasdale told 9News. 'I actually had to leave and one of the nurses had to come in and hold her down for me. She was covered in red rashes. Her eyes were pretty bloodshot. 'She was a little bit wheezy.' Pixie was discharged from hospital early on Monday with her mother urged to continue monitoring her symptoms. The fire extinguisher left a thick coat of chemical powder over the car's interior and destroyed Pixie's pram, toys and nappy bag. Footage shared to social media, which appeared to be shot from the balcony of a unit, showed two figures speeding along a Sunshine Coast street on Sunday night. One appeared to be facing forward steering the e-bike while the second was letting off a thick trail of gas behind them, which appears to be from a fire extinguisher. Ms Teasdale previously issued a furious message to the two alleged offenders. 'Just grow up,' she said. 'Take accountability for your actions. Hand yourself in. Stop terrorising the neighborhood.'
