Moment drunk Brit tourist blockades road TWICE in the same day sparking local fury in latest clash in holiday hotspot

THIS is the moment a drunk Brit tourist sparked chaos on the streets after blocking a busy road in popular holiday hotspot Menorca.

Dramatic footage caught the visitor taking a casual stroll in the middle of the street in the Balearic Islands – twice in one day.

The drunk Brit was seen lifting his arms in the air with his trainers in his hands as he walked along the tarmac in shorts and a shirt, forcing busy traffic to stop.

Fuming drivers on the road were forced to call the cops after the traffic was paused in the busy street between Menorca‘s capital Mahon and its third-largest town Alaoir.

Authorities soon arrived at the scene and took him to a nearby hospital after he was found in a “state of drunkness”.

But he reportedly refused to receive medical attention and ended up leaving.

He was formally identified so he could be reported to traffic chiefs and fined for putting other road users in danger and face a fine.

However, just a few hours later, that man was seen taking a stroll in the middle of a busy road again – causing the traffic to stop abruptly.

He was then checked by an ambulance staff and let go after authorities failed to find him a bed in a local accommodation centre, local media report.

The tourist is believed to be staying at a hotel in Ciutadella on the west of the island.

His current whereabouts are unknown.

It comes after a group of nearly naked tourists stunned locals as they strolled around Majorca wearing very little.

The holidaymakers were filmed walking around Palma wearing only their bikinis after getting off one of the party boats in the area.

Footage shows a group of five women brazenly strolling along the promenade in their swimsuits, leaving locals in shock.

They appear unfazed by the locals’ stares and casually cross the road wearing next to nothing.

The video comes after another tourist became the centre of attention in Majorca when he popped to the shops in a similar ensemble.

Residents were left fuming after the holidaymaker was seen walking down a busy high street sporting just a pair of green Speedos and trainers.

It is in fact illegal to only wear a bikini or swimming shorts in some public parts of Spain – including the Balearic Islands.

Just a few weeks ago, two Brits were filmed fighting each other in the resort of Cala d’Or on Majorca’s south-east coast.

They were wearing only their bikinis after getting off one of the party boats in the area.

A group of British women watching from a safe distance shouted: “Fight, fight, fight’ as they pushed and slapped each other.

It comes as a wave of anti-tourism protests has broken across multiple European destinations with locals calling for an end to excess tourism.

Overcrowding has become the main problem in many sunny destinations, with authorities trying to find a solution to keep tourists and locals happy.

Harsh anti-tourist graffiti has appeared on walls in popular hotspots in Greece and Spain, urging holidaymakers to “go home”.

To tackle boozy tourists, authorities have hit Majorca and Ibiza with a devastating nightly booze ban after 9.30pm which is expected to be enforced immediately.

Meanwhile, the Committee of Tourism, Trade, Employment, Culture and Sport has reportedly approved an initiative to reintroduce a cap on cruise ships to Palma, the island’s capital.

Meanwhile, protesters demanding the end of the “touristification of the city” are preparing to hit the streets of Malaga in less than a month.

They have planned a march on June 29 with the slogan: “For decent housing and against the processes of touristification and precariousness of life.”

Frustrated locals in Malaga claim they are being priced out of their own neighbourhoods – and more properties are being converted to hotels and tourist rentals offering short stays to visiting foreigners.

Others said the city has become “unlivable”.

Post-pandemic, a large number of remote workers have been moving to Spain for a cheaper cost of living, The Local reports.

And expats are often earning higher wages than locals – leaving them struggling to compete.

Just a few weeks ago, thousands took to the streets in Tenerife last month to demand restrictions on holidaymakers.

More than 15,000 people waved Canary Islands’ flags and blew horns to make a deafening noise in the capital Santa Cruz.

Residents said they are “fed-up” with “low quality” Brits who only come for the cheap beer, burgers and sunbathing.

Messages in English left on walls and benches in and around the resort read “My misery your paradise” and “Average salary in Canary Islands is 1,200 euros.”

But the Canary Islands president Fernando Clavijo expressed his concern over the growing anti-tourism movement and begged holidaymakers to keep coming.
