Six Brits including a fugitive have been arrested following a Costa del Sol bar knife fight which left one man, found on the ground with his ‘guts hanging out’, in intensive care.
The injured man, also British, is recovering at the Costa del Sol hospital near Marbella after a life-saving operation.
The violence erupted around 11pm on Monday at an unnamed bar in Torrenueva, a small residential area of Mijas Costa between the towns of Marbella and Fuengirola.
Around ten people are said to been involved in the altercation.

Police had to call for back-up to make the arrests. Three were held as they tried to flee down a nearby stream.
Civil Guard association AUGC said the stabbed Brit had suffered an ‘evisceration’ injury.
A spokesman said the incident showed police reinforcements were ‘vital.’
One of the six men held has been transferred to Madrid for an extradition hearing after police discovered he was wanted in the UK for drugs offences.
Local reports said the men involved in the fight knew each other and were drunk and possibly under the influence of drugs when violence flared. The motive is not known.
