A naked tourist who attempted to shadowbox police in Ibiza was beaten up by officers

The English-speaking tourist was detained by police in Ibiza after a chaotic confrontation on a beach promenade in front of stunned holidaymakers on Thursday in San Antonio,one of Ibiza’s popular tourist resorts.

The man,who was reportedly exercising without clothes on the seafront,attracted the attention of members of the public who alerted authorities. When officers arrived,the situation quickly escalated.

Video footage from the scene appears to show police striking the man with batons after he allegedly shouted insults in English and challenged officers to a fight while naked.

During the incident,he can be seen moving across the sand on his hands and knees as he attempts to evade officers.
