Another British tourist is in a hospital intensive care unit after suffering serious injuries in Majorca. The latest incident occurred in the early hours of Friday morning when a teenager fell four floors from a hotel balcony in the San Augustin area of the island capital Palma.
The 19-year-old is reported to have suffered multiple fractures and emergency services stated he was lucky to survive the fall. Local media reported the man returned to his hotel in a taxi after a night out and went to his room.
However, mystery still surrounds the circumstances which led to his plunge from the hotel balcony. Earlier this week another teenager was left fighting for his life after ignoring pleas from onlookers and diving headfirst into a shallow pool at a Magaluf beach club.
The youth suffered head trauma and severe spinal damage and at one stage was fighting for his life after suffering from multiple life-changing injuries.
Meanwhile, a 34-year-old British tourist fell to his death when trying to climb from a seventh-floor terrace to a balcony on the floor below at a hotel in the party resort earlier this month. No details have been released about the victims.
Some 300 extra police officers are being transferred from Spanish capital Madrid to the Balearic islands party hotspots in Majorca and Ibiza in a crackdown on street crime and bad behaviour. The National Police officers will be deployed until the end of September.
