The incident happened at a hotel in Via Puig des Teix in Santa Ponsa at around 3 o’clock on Wednesday morning.
Witnesses say the man had a sudden fit of fury and pounced on his father, but it’s not clear whether he punched him or beat him with a blunt object.
Hotel staff heard someone screaming and their quick reaction prevented the victim from suffering even more serious injuries.
The defendant reportedly suffers from mental disorders and there’s speculation that his outburst may have been caused by mixing alcohol with his medication.
Hotel employees called Calvia Local Police and while the officers took control of the situation, doctors attended to the victim who has been hospitalised with serious injuries.
The 44-year-old Brit spent the night in jail and is expected to appear in court shortly.

Have sons for this. Very sad
Well, when there's any control of that behaviour, then there's always some people who'll fabricate a conspiracy against innocent Brits. There's an old saying: When you're dead, you don't know it, but everybody else does. The same applies when you're stupid.
Here we go again, well pi..ed at 3am. Ok enjoy your holiday and party but why get to this state. What happened to the ultimate control of the bar man saying you’ve had enough mate away to bed. Hotel and bars management need to back its employees on this. I have no doubt these examples of U.K.’s finest will be fully vaccinated except for being stupid.
