It was a “revenge action” because the victim is said to have previously argued with the son or brother of the attackers, the newspapers “Diario de Mallorca” and “Última Hora” reported, citing the authorities on the Spanish Mediterranean island. The five adult suspected perpetrators were arrested on Friday.

The Mallorcan authorities confirmed these reports upon request. According to media reports, the unusual attack occurred on Wednesday at a school in Can Pastilla on Playa de Palma, not far from the “Ballermann”. The family burst into the school in the middle of school operations. The attackers came across the boy they were looking for in the hallway and beat him up. Some teachers locked themselves in the classrooms, others tried to intervene, it was said. The victim, who is said to be between twelve and 14 years old, was attacked with punches and kicks and was taken to hospital with various injuries.

The attackers fled after the attack. However, they were soon identified and located by the police. Those arrested would be charged with causing public disorder. Three of them are also charged with bodily harm. The attack was filmed by the school’s surveillance cameras and published by some Mallorcan media.
