A British holidaymaker has died following a fight outside a bar in the Costa del Sol resort of Fuengirola. The incident occurred around 11:30pm on Thursday outside the late-night bar Entrehoras, which is popular with British tourists.
The victim fell and hit the back of his head during an altercation. Police and paramedics attempted to revive him with a defibrillator, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect, described by witnesses as Germanic-looking, fled before authorities arrived and remains at large.
A post-mortem is underway to determine whether the death was caused directly by a punch or the fall, or if other factors were involved. The victim had been at the bar with a British friend who was injured but did not require hospital treatment.
Spain's National Police have confirmed an investigation is ongoing, but no arrests have been made. The bar, which has an outside terrace, remained closed on Friday. This incident follows a similar case in May, when a 53-year-old British tourist died after a fight in Tenerife.
