Town hall chiefs in Calvia, the municipality where the eatery is located, said a waiter had been injured after being hit in the head and two police officers were also hurt.

They said they were offering their support to the restaurant and intended taking a tough stance against people who “put the security of the municipality at risk and damage our image.”

A council spokesman urged “tourists like these” to go somewhere else instead of coming to Calvia, a municipality which includes the party resort of Magaluf.

Calvia Council said this morning after yesterday’s evening’s events: “A mass fight at the Balneario Illetas restaurant on Wednesday has led to the arrest of eight English men aged around 30.

“A waiter was injured after being hit in the head and two police officers were also hurt and are awaiting a medical evaluation.

“The incident occurred around 7.30pm when a group of English tourists were on a stag do having gone to Illetes from Palma, because some of them were staying at a hotel in the area.

“One of the restaurant staff spoke to them about their incivic behaviour when they began to throw rubbish and cans of lager into the sea as well as annoying other customers and sunbathers on the beach.

“The response of the group, who appeared to have drunk excessively, was extremely violent.

“They attacked staff and confronted the police.

“The first to intervene were two off-duty Civil Guards. In total a Civil Guard patrol and six local Calvia Town Hall-employed police were mobilised.

“Police sources said they had rarely witnessed such a violent reaction on the part of the detainees who confronted the officers and tried to flee when they saw they were trapped.

“The eight people arrested have been held in police cells overnight.

“Seven restaurant customers and sunbathers have already pressed charges against the violent tourists.”

Calvia’s deputy mayor Esperanza Catala said this morning after visiting the eatery to express her support: “It’s regrettable ncidents like this, despite being infrequent, have occurred in our municipality.

“But let no-one be mistaken, we are going to be inflexible with this sort of people that we don’t want in Calvia and we are not going to let them get away with anything.

“We are not going to allow anyone to come here that puts the security of our municipality at risk and damages our image.

“They need to take note and go somewhere else if they don’t know how to behave.”
