The Spanish driver filmed ramming terrified British holidaymakers on a Majorcan motorway has claimed he doesn't remember anything about the incident because he was 'in shock'
The crazed Spanish driver filmed ramming terrified British holidaymakers on a Majorcan motorway has claimed he doesn't remember anything about the incident because he was 'in shock' after being physically assaulted.
But police are insisting it was an unconnected road rage incident that had nothing to do with any anti-tourist sentiment. Lydia Martin, of Palma-based law firm Raso & Asociados, said her client had also told officers he couldn't remember anything about the shocking scenes captured on camera by the British tourists and traffic chiefs because he was 'in shock' after being hit.
The shock event was linked initially to the growing tourism-phobia in places like Majorca where Brit holidaymakers were insulted during Saturday's anti mass tourism march 'They both carried on driving but my client told the police the British people began to get very aggressive and started honking their horn and insulting him and making rude signs with their fingers.
'He says the last thing he remembers was getting in his car after the assault and trying to call police but not being able to. Another added: 'He will eventually be summoned to court to explain to a judge what happened that day.'Police sources have confirmed the British holidaymakers filed a complaint on the Spanish mainland a few days after the incident happened when they discovered they had been billed for the damage to their hire car.
'After the altercation, the suspect chased the other vehicle onto the MA-19 motorway, where he made several reckless manoeuvres to block the other driver's path. The force made no mention in its statement of any alleged assault by one of the Brits on the Spaniard. An estimated 15,000 locals joined the protest that snaked through the capital Palma and headed for Weyler Square on SaturdayA second angle shows how the car of tourists was forced to reverse down a one-way road to avoid being attacked, before the local man put his motor in reverse and repeatedly rammed it into them.
