Palma.Four of the ten people arrested in Magalluf, on Sunday night, appeared in a Palma court yesterday.
The four were arrested shortly after 4am, when a Guardia Civil patrol spotted them hitting and kicking anyone who happened to cross their paths and some of the innocent victims apparently needed medical attention.

When the Guardia Civil moved in, the four ran into the crowds in Punta Ballena and sparked a running street battle, by throwing chairs and tables at their fellow compatriots in an attempt to give the police, the slip. However, they failed and were subsequently arrested.

Yesterday, the four, two of which are minors, were charged with resisting arrest, public order offenses and personal injury.
The date for the court hearing has yet to be set.
