A 17-year-old Irish man is being held in custody on suspicion of attempted murder in Spain.
The teenager was one of four Irish holidaymakers who got into an altercation in the early hours of Thursday, August 14, in the resort of Puerto Banus near Marbella.
It is believed a row broke out amongst the men over a girl, and the victim was knocked to the ground sustaining life-threatening head injuries.
He was taken to a hospital in the Costa del Sol before being transferred to a specialist centre in Malaga, where he spent a number of days in intensive care before his condition stabilised.
Local police witnessed the assault from a distance and contacted the national police force, who then arrested a 17-year-old Irish man and his older brother at the scene.
Both men were questioned and the older brother was later released on bail.
