Moment of madness

A BRITISH tourist, 29, has been arrested in Magaluf for attempted murder after deliberately driving into two people he had argued with minutes earlier.

The couple - a British man aged 20 and his Polish girlfriend aged 19 - were left lying on the ground while the driver sped away.

Police appeared within minutes along with two ambulances with the couple suffering only minor injuries and they were discharged hours later from hospital.

The angry motorist was later arrested at Son Matias beac, with reports suggesting he had consumed a lot of alcohol and drugs.

The man had allegedly argued with the couple due to a disagreement between his girlfriend and the other Brit’s Polish partner.
