The incident occurred around 2am on the Avenida Magaluf. It would appear that the three jumped on the bonnet of the taxi, that this led to a confrontation and to the taxi driver being badly beaten up.
The driver in question is a big man; he used to be a doorman in Magalluf. But such was the aggression that he was left unconscious on the ground. The three left the scene in a hurry, aware that people were videoing them.
A 21-year-old Briton was arrested later on, while a second has definitely been identified. Police are trying to locate him.
Taxi drivers halted their service for a time by way of protest and out of respect for their colleague.

As a U.K. citizen I am disgusted, ashamed and so angry that this happened. Not just because this taxi driver is doing his job, providing a service to us going on holiday, he having probably a wife and children, who will see him going to work in one piece and returning battered and bruised in a senseless manner, BUT….. loads of…… can’t put what I want to express, just say worthless low life’s, videoing the incident for a cheap YouTube upload, or what’s app to their “friends” as opposed to helping the poor man. I despise this generation!
I hope they get these disgrace to the Human race Thugs. Put them in the Palma Hilton and throw away the key. They are of no use to anyone.
Punta Ballena should be shut down and that would improve the area no end. So some crappy bars and clubs would lose out - tough! They profit from selling drink to thugs so they have no right to complain.
Is anyone surprised? Thugish fat tattoed brit losers in Magaluf. Only surprise is this type of low life don't do it more often.
