Ibiza restaurant confrontation lands tourist in hospital
A nightmare unfolded for a German tourist on Ibiza. He visited a local restaurant, but the meal he ordered didn't suit his taste, so he informed the staff. The chef reacted so aggressively that the German tourist ended up in the hospital.
The third-largest island in the Balearics attracts partygoers from all over the world during the summer. Ibiza is also home to peaceful towns with narrow streets and a unique atmosphere, UNESCO-listed sites, and extraordinary nature reserves.
When the holiday partygoers leave the island in the fall, retirees, including many Germans, eagerly relax there. Unfortunately, one visitor will not have fond memories of his stay on the island. The chef of a well-known restaurant on Ibiza attacked him after he complained about the food.
The chef attacked the dissatisfied customer
The 72-year-old German tourist visited the establishment with his partner and friends. Dissatisfied with the meal, he returned it to the kitchen, arguing that the dish was not what he ordered and was also of poor quality. The chef reacted aggressively. He came into the dining area and allegedly attacked the customer.
First, he shouted aggressively, and then lunged at the German tourist, pushing him with such force that he fell, injuring his back and neck. While the victim was on the floor, the chef reportedly smashed a plate with food on the floor and continued to insult the elderly man.
The tourist went to the nearest health centre, where he was diagnosed with minor bruises. A few days later, still feeling unwell, he returned to the facility. He was immediately transported to Son Espases Hospital in Palma for surgery, as it was discovered he had two blood clots in his chest that were making it difficult for him to breathe.
As a result, the restaurant chef, a 37-year-old Spaniard, was arrested on charges of serious bodily harm.
