A British schoolgirl was punched in the face by a 'Spanish yob' during a fight that broke out over her allegedly sitting on someone's sun lounger.
Shocking video footage shows a girl in a green bikini knocked over on to a chair and repeatedly hit by a man as dozens of terrified tourists screamed at the family hotel in Santa Susanna, Spain.
Several British holidaymakers were said to have jumped in to help the girl as a man in orange swim trunks was seen being forcibly held back and it was claimed even hotel staff were 'too scared' to break up the chaos.
The fight is said to have unfolded after the teenager sat on a sun lounger but was unaware it was already being used.
She was rushed to hospital with blood all over her face and a broken nose while others were left with cuts, black eyes and grazes, according to The Sun.
The thug's friends reportedly also got involved in the physical row by hitting the young girl as locals claimed the group were 'Spanish gypsies'.
At least six police and an ambulance were called to the scene and the British family were moved to another resort after the teenager was treated.
A witness told The Sun: 'An innocent girl of 13 was punched in the face by a yob after she sat on an empty lounger. She had no idea that it had already been in use by another family.

'He didn't utter a word, just piled in. It was unbelievable; totally sickening. How could a grown man act like that to anyone, let alone a child.
'In seconds there was a full-scale riot, with the Spanish yob's chums also wading in and throwing punches. At this point I heard a man shout "Get off my sun chair!"'
The holidaymaker added that fireworks had also gone off and many people feared there was a terrorist attack as frightened parents pulled their children to safety.
They continued that the fight was akin to a saloon bar brawl, but instead of drunk men it involved families at an all-inclusive hotel.
Another witness allegedly claimed they were too scared to approach the Spanish police and there had been no apology from the hotel either.
The horrifying attack saw the thug take 'sunbed wars' to a new extreme, as every year frantic holidaymakers wake up in the early hours of the morning, racing to secure a spot.
