They called the police and held the man alleged to have been responsible for the horror attack until officers arrived on the scene.

The woman, said to be a British tourist aged around 50, was taken to hospital.

A number of people in the area saw the man having sex with a woman who was lying in the street and apparently unconscious, according to Diario de Mallorca.

They reportedly intervened to stop the attack and a local police patrol rushed to the scene.

The woman’s clothing had been tampered with and she was not responding, says the island newspaper.

Witnesses gave a description of the man and he was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.

He is reported to be a German man in his forties.

The man was taken to a police station for questioning whilst the woman was transferred to hospital.

Local news says the attack was witnessed by “dozens of people” as the street was in a central part of the resort.

National police have taken over the investigation.
