Brit, 26, arrested for ‘raping woman’ in Magaluf hotel and ‘headbutted cop’ who tried to detain him

A BRITISH has been arrested on suspicion of raping a woman in a hotel room in Majorca.

The 26-year-old is said to have resisted arrest and headbutted one of the officers called to the scene in Magaluf.

The alleged rape happened at a hotel in the popular resort of Santa Ponsa.

A friend of the woman said to have suffered the sex attack alerted a receptionist who called the police, around 7pm on Friday.

She told officers the man held had tried to force her into the room after raping her pal.

The victim was transferred to the Son Espases hospital.

It was not immediately clear if the suspect has already appeared in court and whether he has been remanded in custody or released on bail pending an ongoing investigation.

The nationality of the woman allegedly raped has not been revealed.

A British tourist claimed she was raped by another Brit holidaymaker in Punta Ballena in Magaluf last year.

The woman told Spanish cops at the time she passed out in the man’s hotel room and woke up later to find him “on top of her”.

And a few weeks earlier a British teenager was reportedly raped on the holiday island of Majorca by two men.
