A German is said to have raped a British woman on the street on the Spanish holiday island of Mallorca.
The police arrested the 40-year-old vacationer.
The suspect allegedly assaulted the woman early Sunday morning, who was apparently drunk and unconscious on Carrer Migquel Pellisa, known as Bierstrasse, the police reported, citing eyewitnesses.
Passers-by noticed the attack on Playa de Palma and alerted the police.
The woman was taken to a hospital.
According to the "Mallorca Zeitung", which first reported on the crime, the German refused to testify.
It was not known whether and when he would be brought before a judge.
