A British man has been arrested after two attacks on a beach in Benidorm.
The 44-year-old is accused of trying to drown a woman and suffocate a boy on Poniente Beach.
It is alleged that he grabbed the Norwegian 34-year-old woman’s neck and pushed her head under water while she was swimming with her boyfriend,who came to her rescue.
He is then said to have grabbed a five-year-old Spanish boy by the neck and tried to suffocate him by forcing his face into the sand and holding him down.
The boy’s mum went to help her son while other sunbathers and a lifeguard performed a citizen’s arrest,restraining him until police arrived.
He was arrested for attempted homicide,wounding,and threats.
