Police have arrested a bouncer at a Benidorm pub over an attack on a British holidaymaker who was punched in the street and left fighting for life in hospital.
Andrew Frazer, 43, was allegedly floored by a doorman in an ‘unprovoked’ attack during a lads’ break to the famous Costa Blanca resort just over a week after proposing to long-term partner Carrie Howard.
The father-of-two, from St Helens, Merseyside, had to have part of his skull cut away to relieve swelling on the brain.
He is now back in the UK after a gruelling 27-hour journey in the back of a private ambulance because his injuries were too severe for a medical flight – with his family saying the full extent of the damage he suffered is still being assessed.
Overnight it emerged a 42-year-old Romanian man had been arrested over the early-hours incident on November 14 outside a pub in Benidorm’s famous Little England area.
The unnamed suspect was held last week on suspicion of a crime of wounding.
He was released on bail pending an ongoing criminal probe after appearing before a judge in a behind-closed-doors court hearing where he denied being the man who assaulted Mr Frazer.
