He has been told he had to pay £6,200 to recover his passport if he wanted to catch a flight back to the UK from m scheduled for today. The incident that led to the attack victim ending up in hospital in the town of Manacor, with part of his right earlobe missing and a neck wound. The incident happened in the early hours of Saturday morning at an unnamed hotel at a small beach in the east coast resort of Cala d’Or called Cala Egos. Island newspaper Ultima Hora said the injured man’s wife had told police when they arrived that the attack happened during a row in the hotel bar between both men about politics. The newspaper said the victim was “too drunk” at the time to give his own statement at the scene before he was taken to Manacor Hospital after receiving initial medical attention at the hotel from paramedics. The man who was arrested was also staying at the same hotel with his wife. Several hours are said to have elapsed between the incident and the arrest. It was not immediately clear if medics had been able to reattach the severed part of the tourist’s earlobe, or whether the suspect had handed over cash to recover his passport so he could fly back to Britain today as scheduled following the end of his Spanish holiday. Cala Egos is a small semi-urban beach in the centre of Cala d’Or. The beach is a small stretch of white sand flanked by low cliffs covered in vegetation and enclosed between two hotels. Police could not be reached for an official comment early this morning.
