A 28-year-old man was admitted to the hospital at dawn this Friday after a violent assault outside a nightclub in Cala Major, Mallorca. Authorities say the victim is in a critical state and currently under intensive medical care. The National Police have launched a full investigation to identify and apprehend the person responsible, following preliminary information that the assailant acted without provocation. The incident has prompted officials to review security measures around popular late-night venues in the area and to appeal for any witnesses or surveillance footage that can shed light on the attack.
The incident occurred around 5:30 in the morning at the entrance to the Rockefeller nightclub on Camí de Cala Major. According to initial statements, the victim, a 28-year-old man, was seated on a stairway at the door when an unidentified individual approached him. After exchanging a brief, wordless interaction, the assailant delivered a forceful kick to the head, which left the victim unconscious. The aggressor then fled the scene, disappearing into the night as bystanders rushed to aid the injured man. The aggressive act was described as sudden and unprovoked by those nearby, prompting police to begin a rapid inquiry into the assailant’s identity and motive.
Emergency responders were called to the scene and provided immediate care to stabilize the victim. While being treated by paramedics, the man suffered a heart attack but was successfully resuscitated. He was subsequently transported to Son Espases University Hospital for advanced medical treatment. Medical staff reported that he remains in a highly precarious condition, with ongoing efforts to manage his critical health status. The incident has raised concerns about late-night security at popular clubs in the area and the potential risks faced by patrons returning home after hours, particularly in early-morning hours when visibility and crowds are reduced. The medical team continues to monitor the patient closely and will update on his condition as it evolves, while authorities assess all aspects of the emergency response to determine if any additional precautions are warranted.
In parallel, National Police officers arrived at the Rockefeller nightclub shortly after the attack. Homicide investigators have assumed lead responsibility for the case, conducting interviews with witnesses and reviewing any available surveillance footage from the venue and surrounding areas. Officers are seeking information that could identify the assailant, including descriptions from bystanders, vehicle descriptions, or distinctive clothing. The police department has urged anyone with pertinent information to come forward, emphasizing that cooperation from the public is essential to bring those responsible to justice and to prevent similar incidents in the future. The investigation remains active, with the aim of establishing a precise timeline of events and confirming whether the attack was motivated by personal animosity, a random confrontation, or other factors. The authorities have not ruled out links to other incidents that may share common threads and are coordinating with relevant agencies to ensure a thorough review of all potential leads.
