The drama occurred at 6am on Saturday morning.

The apartment block he plunged from has been named as the Maria Elena building in a street called calle Federico Garcia Lorca.

A neighbour at the apartment complex is said to have called emergency services to report a man lying on the ground and bleeding profusely, the Majorca Daily Bulletin reports.

The man was believed to have been conscious but had his face and head injured.

Local reports describe him as British although police have not yet made any official comment on his nationality.

They are understood to be working on the theory he lost his balance while under the effects of alcohol after a night out partying with friends.

They believe he may have fallen after trying to jump over a wall separating the street from a patio inside the apartment complex.

One island newspaper said he had been in a “critical” condition when he was taken to Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital Palma.

It comes after a Brit holidaymaker died in Spain after being swept out to sea by a massive rogue wave.

The 62-year-old man was caught up in the devastating Storm Nelson as he took photos with his wife, reports say.

The tragedy happened near an old fishing village named San Esteban de Pravia in Muros de Nalon.

The unnamed Brit was on holiday with his wife, according to the local mayor.

His body was found by a fire and rescue helicopter at around 2pm after he is believed to have fallen from the end of a breakwater.

Unconfirmed reports said he was taking photos when he was knocked into the water by a wave.

He is then thought to have smashed his head on a nearby barrier before being swept off into the sea.

A witness told El Comercio: “The man stood up for a moment to look at the waves and when he turned around to return to his wife, who had stayed further back, a wave dragged him away.”
