Eight British tourists are in police custody after clashing with police at the Balneario beach club in Illetas. A waiter and two police officers were injured. The group were on a stag party. The incident started when a waiter asked them not to throw beer cans and rubbish into the sea.

John Pittsso come on, if you have. strong opinion that makes you put a thumbs down..,,,, Why? Genuinely, there must be another view?
Zoltan Teglaswhy on earth would 3 people give this a thumbs down?!
All comments spot on. What I find a little odd, in some of the coverage, is the implication that they’d been drinking heavily, that’s why their behaviour was so poor. Errrr no. Normal people can have a drink, enjoy their evening, maybe laugh? Being drunk is not an excuse. Bars selling alcoholic drinks does not make them in any way responsible. These people are thugs and criminals. Well done the waiter who stopped them throwing rubbish into the sea - he’s a hero. And we’ll done for the arrests! I’d ban them for life. Oh, hope they missed the wedding! Just desserts I think.
Charlie CoolThis incident has been widely reported in the U.K. media. The comments sections are broadly in line with your sentiments. Again to much alcohol and not enough brains to sensibly use it.
The nationality of these thugs is irrelevant. Decent people from any country would be appalled and angry that such trash is dragging their homeland into disrepute, be they English, Scottish, German, Dutch, or from any other proud nation. The silent majority of good people who visit the Balearic Islands will stand shoulder to shoulder with Spain in imposing the harshest punishments on anyone who disrespects the laws and authorities of Spain.
James WalkerAnd if we both agree on it we must be onto something.
Absolutely disgraceful! Total chavs! Throwing beer cans into the sea!?!? Scumbags. They should defunitely be banned from the whole country, not just the Baleares. I wonder if it was a traditional wedding stag party? If so, it looks like they could be in even bigger trouble with the missus with the amount of females with them! Oooops!
This kind of tourists is totally undesirable in our islands ! I wish they can never come back to this country !
Zoltan TeglasAgree . Stag parties?
Wow Zoltan I have to agree with you on this occasion.
