The Brit, dressed in a white t-shirt and trousers, appears caught up in a heated exchange as a friend steps in to try and quell the argument.
As tensions escalate, the man is seen being brutally punched in the face and falling to the ground, contorting one of his legs.
The shocking clip then shows a woman in a pink cowboy hat rushing to the man's aid as a group of lads row with the security guards.
According to one onlooker, the scuffle escalated when one man - who appeared to be a local - asked the other to leave the bar.
They told the Mail Online: "It's always the d***head Brits - it makes you ashamed to be a Brit sometimes.
"We'd been in there for two hours or so - it seemed a nice bar and all of a sudden we heard a bit of a commotion.
"He was out cold, and his leg looked dislocated."
The Brit's current condition remains unclear.
This isn't the first time Spain has seen a bust up between revellers.
Earlier this month, footage was released of two unruly Brits who started fighting each other in Tenerife while getting cheered on by immature yobs.
Shock moment cheering Brits watch vicious street brawl in hols hotspot Tenerife
One of the women is seen lunging at another tourist before brazenly tackling her face-first onto the ground.
The violent footage filmed in Playa de Las Américas sparked fury among locals on the popular holiday island.
Elsewhere, a lad's holiday to Benidorm ended in horror when a dad broke his neck after being shoved into a swimming pool "as a joke".
Martin Bullen, 31, was at a Benidorm pool party on June 10 when he claims somebody who he "didn't know" playfully pushed him into the water.

The single dad-of-two said he had no idea how shallow the water was so when he was pushed, he tried to dive in but split his head open on the bottom of the pool.
Luckily one of the worried partygoers that stepped in to get Martin out of the pool was an army medic so knew to keep him still until an ambulance arrived.
Martin, who works as a sales advisor, was then taken to a nearby hospital where docs gave him 16 stitches in his head and found that he had fractured his neck in three places and broken his back.
He explained that the trip to Benidorm with his cousins was intended to have a break from being a busy single dad.
The fight also comes just a month after two Brits were caught brawling in Tenerife.
The violent footage filmed in Playa de Las Américas sparked fury among locals on the popular holiday island.
The footage has highlighted growing concerns over tourist behaviour in Spain.
At the start of the astonishing footage, one of the women dressed in white is seen lunging at another tourist.

New map shows UK streets hit hardest by 'Kamikaze' shoplifting
As 'Kamikaze' shoplifting sweeps Britain, a new crime map has revealed the high streets most plagued by the retail theft 'epidemic' - use our interactive map to see how it compares where you live A new map has revealed the UK high streets hit hardest by a wave of 'Kamikaze' shoplifting - as brazen thieves snatch goods in plain sight with little fear of consequences. More than 500,000 shoplifting offences were recorded by police in England and Wales in 2024 - a 20% surge on the previous year, and the highest since records began more than 20 years ago. Over half (56%) of retail workers say they've witnessed so-called Kamikaze shoplifting - blatant, in-your-face theft - in their workplace, according to research by SafetyCulture. One in eight (13%) say it happens daily, and over a third (37%) see it weekly. The British Independent Retail Association (Bira) calls it a 'tipping point', warning some offenders now believe they can 'walk into a shop, take what they want in full view of staff and customers, and walk out knowing there will be no consequences.' Adding to the trend, security firms report a 'massive increase' in pensioners shoplifting - driven by cost-of-living pressures. 'For us over the last 12 months, we've got this different level of crime now. We're now experiencing something different - pensioners, people who don't normally shoplift,' said John Nussbaum of Kingdom Service Group. The crime map reveals Leeds City Centre as the worst-hit area, with 3,004 shoplifting offences in 2024 - that's one every three hours. Fitzrovia West & Soho in Westminster followed with 2,430, and Brighton's North Laine & the Lanes came third with 2,116. Also ranking high on the list is Cathays South & Bute Park in Cardiff (1,753), the City of London (1,687), Central Birmingham (1,407), Newcastle City Centre (1,240), Liverpool's Central & Islington district (1,240), and Stone & Crossways in Dartford (1,229). Crime figures are available for every one of more than 7,000 neighbourhoods in England and Wales, except areas covered by Greater Manchester Police, as the force has not supplied crime data for the last year. The figures cover neighbourhoods with between 7,000 and 10,000 residents, which the government designates as Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs). The statistics do not include crimes reported at train stations, as British Transport Police record them. You can see how retail theft compares near you using our interactive map. The news comes after a former shoplifter who once stole £3 million worth of goods says Brits now have 'a licence to steal' as shoplifting hits record highs. Cullan Mals, 32, used to steal up to £2,000 a day - as much as £14,000 a week - before turning his life around. He says soft sentences made it easy: 'People now have a licence to steal and it's getting even worse with the cost-of-living crisis.' Now a podcaster working with a drug recovery charity in Cardiff, he believes tougher penalties are the only solution: 'People now have total licence to steal. I think personally, if it's on an organised level, the sentences need to be harsher because at the end of the day these people know penalties are weak. When you go to an off licence, everything is behind Perspex - it's a bit dystopian but it works. Big supermarkets should lock up all meat, booze, aftershave, and then just have a guy there whose job it is to unlock the goods for shoppers.' His comments come as repeat offender Martyn Boyns was arrested and charged with nine counts of shop theft and one of fraud in Penzance and Newlyn. The £1,200 haul included nappies, perfume, meat, and booze. Penzance Police, who announced the arrest on Facebook, said officers had been 'working tirelessly' to gather evidence. Boyns has now been banned from several shops and four streets in the town. Another former shoplifter, Keeley Knowles - once known as 'Birmingham's most prolific' - stole thousands of pounds' worth of goods to fund her heroin addiction. After 28 prison stints, she's now 18 months clean and working to inspire recovery. She credits her turnaround to West Midlands Police 's Offending to Recovery programme, which began in Erdington in 2018 and is now expanding to Coventry, Dudley, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. The scheme was developed after research showed 70% of shop theft was linked to heroin and crack addiction. Meanwhile in Edinburgh, shopkeeper Majid Mohamed says his mobile phone accessories and repair shop is regularly targeted - especially during peak tourist seasons. 'It depends on the time of year really how bad shoplifting is, it's particularly bad at Christmas and New Year and of course The Fringe, the busy times for the city,' he said. 'We have CCTV but when they are in groups they provide cover for each other. Sometimes items are stolen without us even noticing until too late. And even though we have the cameras the thieves don't seem to care, it's a 'what are you going to do' kind of attitude, pretty intimidating.' Jeff Moody, Bira's Chief Commercial Officer, said: 'The fact that shoplifting has reached this unprecedented level is frankly alarming, but it's the brazen nature of these crimes that's particularly concerning. What's particularly troubling is that half of our members are now choosing not to report thefts because they've lost faith in getting any meaningful response. 'The harm to retailers goes far beyond the immediate financial loss. Independent businesses operate on wafer-thin margins, and every theft chips away at their ability to invest, grow, and employ people. We need urgent action from police forces to treat retail crime with the seriousness it deserves, and for the courts to send a clear message that this behaviour won't be tolerated.' Shoplifting was first described as an 'epidemic' in 2023 by Dame Sharon White, the chair of John Lewis Partnership, and since then, crime - and the cost to retailers - has spiralled. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) said retailers footed an 'eye-watering' £4.2 billion bill from crime last year, including £2.2bn lost to shoplifting, and £1.8bn spent on crime prevention measures.

Mum of tragic girl, 12, uses a far more telling name for her vile teen killer
Harry Gilbertson was yesterday unmasked as Ava White's murderer as, because he turned 18 on Friday, he reached adulthood and court laws to provide him anonymity expired The heartbroken mother of a 12-year-old girl stabbed to death by a teen yob has branded the killer "the monster". Leeann White, 42, won't call Harry Gilbertson by his real name - even though the press are now able to unmask the lowlife as the vile killer of Ava White. The girl's mum said she doesn't want to give Gilbertson such respect - even if he can be publicly identified - because he senselessly took Ava's life following a petty row in Liverpool city centre more than three-a-half years ago. Reacting to the news the media can name Gilbertson, Ms White candidly said this week: "I don't call him by his name. I call him the monster... He has never shown any remorse. It is important the public know who he is." When Gilbertson was found guilty of murder, aged 15, judge Amanda Yip refused calls from Ava's family and the press for him to be named, saying the risk to his family, in particular his younger siblings, was too great. A court-enforced order had been put in place - as the case with all defendants aged younger than 18 - to prevent the media from publishing details, including his name, picture and address. READ MORE: Ava White's schoolboy murderer unmasked as teenager who stabbed girl turns 18 This order now no longer applies because Gilbertson is now 18. He can therefore be pictured and, in the image above, the murderer poses for a snap, which was published on social media site Snapchat. It was the use of Snapchat which led to the altercation in which Ava was attacked outside Primark in November 2021. Following a verbal argument between Ava's friends and a group of boys, one of the boys filmed them, which he later shared on Snapchat. Ava told the boy to stop filming and delete the video and, after the argument continued, Ava was stabbed in the neck with a flick knife. She was rushed to Alder Hey Children's Hospital, where she sadly died a short time later despite the best efforts of medical staff. Remembering her daughter, Leeann told Mail Online this week: "The public know everything about Ava – her name was splashed everywhere when she died. Why shouldn't everyone know what he did? Why should he be protected? He was the one in the wrong, he was the one who went out that night with a knife." The Ava White Foundation has been set up by her family to generate awareness and raise money for bleed control kits. The kits, which are designed to treat stab wounds, have been installed in public places, and will continue to be. Speaking previously about this, Leeann said: "The importance of these bleed packs is to make sure they are out there so we don't have another child die on our streets. So another mother hasn't got to be sitting here and feeling the way I'm feeling everyday."
