Pro footballer knocks out woman with a chair during pool brawl at Ibiza hotel
Oldham Athletic striker Kian Harratt has been identified as the man who threw a chair at a woman during a poolside fight at a hotel in Ibiza.
The 23-year-old, who scored a dramatic extra-time winner for Oldham in the National League play-off final at Wembley earlier this month, was involved in a brawl between two groups on men at the Marco Polo Hotel in San Antonio.
In the footage, Harratt can be seen throwing a white chair in the direction of a group of men following an argument, however, it hit a woman who appeared to be attempting to break up the confrontation.
The woman immediately hit the ground before a member of hotel staff checked on her by the pool as the fight carried on.
Two more chairs were thrown during the melee, knocking one man into the pool, before more hotel staff rushed over to Harratt and ordered him to leave the area.
The footage went viral on social media while Harratt reposted a clip of the fight on his TikTok account before removing it. https://www.instagram.com/p/DLMi0q3tcfr/?hl=en
Harratt has also liked several comments on a separate post on his TikTok account which read: 'Keep chairs down my brother' and 'my striker plz stay out of trouble now'.
Brandon Watkins from Nuneaton, who was one of the men involved in the bust-up with Harratt, wrote in a post on Facebook: 'Five lads came to our hotel being nobs around the pool splashing people throwing balls at women and one lad says 'what are you looking at' so he approaches me and I drop him… they then start throwing chairs because they couldn't fight and everyone knows how slippy it is round a pool so stopping chairs hitting us I slip in the pool and that's what went viral.
'If they let me get back out the pool or got in with me then they would have been slapped again but they didn't they got kicked out. Everyone sat around the pool after was coming up to us shaking our hands and buying us drinks because the lads were bellends!'
Meanwhile, another British holidaymaker, Kyle Crawford, has alleged that Harratt and three of his friends were 'being horrible' to a group of women, which led to the fight.
'There was four lads, we didn't know who they were, being horrible to some women,' he told The Sun.
'They were just in the pool splashing them and throwing balls at them – being proper immature
'Me and my mates stuck up for them and then in the end, they'd come to attack my mate.'
In December, Harratt was fined over £1,153 after he was caught poaching in North Yorkshire.
Last year, Harratt was also banned for four months and fined £3,200 after admitting breaking the Football Association's betting rules by placing 484 bets on matches.
Harratt, who was born in Pontefract, made his professional debut with Huddersfield Town in December 2019.

Robbie Savage drops huge hint over his next job as he closes in on replacing sacked National League head coach - after rejecting offers higher up the pyramid
Robbie Savage is seemingly on the verge of becoming Forest Green's new head coach after resigning from a role at his current club. Forest Green sacked Steve Cotterill on Thursday after they failed to achieve promotion through the National League play-offs. Despite finishing third, they were dumped out by Southend on penalties and missed out on a place at Wembley. They are now expected to appoint Savage, who successfully led Macclesfield to the National League North in his first season in charge last campaign. Chairman Dale Vince revealed Rovers' new manager will be officially unveiled on Tuesday and all the signs point to Savage, 50, taking charge. Vince, who is currently promoting his eco-friendly agenda at Glastonbury, told the BBC: 'We've got a new manager being appointed and we have an event on Tuesday.' Savage is currently a part-owner at Macclesfield as well as their manager. However, according to Companies House, he has now resigned as a director. Paperwork filed with Companies House shows Savage has resigned as a Macclesfield director He took up the coaching reins last summer after initially acting as director of football. Savage is believed to be close friends with Forest Green director of football Mark Bowen, his former team-mates on international duty with Wales. According to The Mirror, he had rejected offers from higher up the pyramid. He signed a new two-year contract with Macclesfield just last month, having steered his side to promotion with a whopping 109 points, 26 clear of second place. Speaking after penning his extension, he said: 'It's a club that's close to my heart. 'What myself and Rob and the volunteers, the staff have all achieved: three promotions in four years, an FA trophy semi-final, record-breaking season last year. 'You know interest from other clubs, as Rob has alluded to, I just wanted to show everybody my commitment to this football club. 'It's my future. For the next couple of years, it's going to be here. It's a project. It's a journey. I can't leave that dressing room. 'The lads have been spectacular, been amazing. Togetherness has been incredible. So I'm on that journey with them.' Wayne Rooney, currently out of work after being sacked by Plymouth Argyle, has been linked with the Macclesfield hot seat should Savage leave.

Lions player ratings as Henry Pollock pure X factor but Irish duo need to up games
Lions player ratings as Henry Pollock pure X factor but Irish duo need to up games The British & Irish Lions are up and running. British & Irish Lions players react following their rugby match win against the Western Force in Perth (Image: AP Photo/Trevor Collens ) The British & Irish Lions got their tour of Australia off to a winning start with a comprehensive 54-7 victory over the Western Force in Perth. It was by no means perfect and they did endure a ropey first half but Andy Farrell's side seemed to click after the break as they crossed for eight tries in total. There were a number of impressive individual performances, while one or two others were below par and will need to up their game to make the Test side. Here are your player ratings. 15. Elliot Daly 7 A few eyebrows were raised when Daly was named in Farrell's original squad but this was an assured performance from the Englishman. His positional play was first class, while his kicking out of hand put the Force under pressure. Article continues below Daly does the less fashionable things well as he hit some good angles and some neat passing unlocked the Force defence. Grabbed himself a brace of tries. 14. Mack Hansen 7 The Connacht man did not have the best of first halves and was outplayed by Force wing Dylan Pietsch but he was much better after the break. Hansen hit some good lines in the second half while a nice offload to James Lowe ended up with Tomos Williams scoring in the early stages of the second half. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. He also put in a couple of key defensive interventions and his performance will have pleased Farrell. 13. Garry Ringrose 6 Defended well and brought with his line speed cutting off the Force attack on a couple of occasions during the first half. Ringrose was quietly effective, claiming a try during the second half but will need to up his game if he is to cement a spot in the Test side. 12. Sione Tuipulotu 7 Like many players Tuipulotu was quiet during the first half but came to life after the break. The Scotland star finished the game as the top carrier with 16, while he hit some good angles to rip through the Force defence. It's going to be tight between Tuipulotu and Bundee Aki for the number 12 shirt against the Wallabies. 11. James Lowe 8 The left-wing put in a strong performance on his Lions debut. He may not have got himself on the scoreboard but he played an influential role in five of the tries. A sumptuous offload put Dan Sheehan over, while he made a number of line breaks and his passing under pressure was top class. Lowe was used infield regularly and was effective as a playmaker. 10. Finn Russell 8 This was an assured display from the Lions playmaker who outlined why he is the frontrunner to wear the number 10 shirt against the Wallabies. Russell's range of passing unlocked the Force defence throughout the second half while his decision to take a penalty quickly set up Daly's try. He also kicked 10 points from the kicking tee and controlled the game well. 9. Tomos Williams 8 The Wales scrum-half put in a fine individual performance but it was ruined by an injury in the act of scoring a try. Williams was a constant threat with ball in hand and his support lines resulted in two tries for the Gloucester number nine. The 30-year-old's service was also slick while he got the balance right between when to kick, run and pass. Farrell will be hoping his injury is not too serious because he was excellent in Perth. Join WalesOnline Rugby's WhatsApp Channel here to get the breaking news sent straight to your phone for free 8. Henry Pollock 8 This kid is pure X-factor and has the ability to rip open the tightest of defences. Unlocked the Force defence with a stunning break before offloading to Williams for their second try. Pollock also regathered his own kick to set up the Lions' sixth try to hammer home his point of difference. There are still a few too many errors in his game but with Pollock on the field Farrell knows there will be at least three or four standout moments which can turn a game in their favour. Blotted his copybook with a yellow card. 7. Josh van der Flier 7 The experienced Irishman put in a huge defensive shift with 22 tackles made as he helped keep the Force to just the one try in what was a ferocious onslaught by the hosts during the opening quarter. His counter rucking is an underrated part of the game while he also carried well. But there were no turnovers for the Leinster star with referee Ben O'Keeffe not awarding a single jackal penalty over the course of the 80 minutes. 6. Tadhg Beirne 5 Not his greatest game. The experienced forward wasn't at his dynamic best and conceded too many penalties in the first half. Beirne was effective at the lineout but there were no trademark carries or turnovers from the Ireland star. He can play much better than this and needs to up his game over the next few weeks. 5. Scott Cummings 5 The Scotsman got through a lot of work in making five carries and 12 tackles while he also denied the Force a try at the stroke of half-time by holding the hosts up over the line. This was a tidy performance but he did not set the world on fire either. The Force pack were on top for most of the first half before they tired and the Lions gained the upper hand after the break. Cummings didn't do enough to threaten the Test side. 4. Joe McCarthy (Star man) 9 Outstanding! The Irish lock made some key interventions while the Lions were under pressure in the first half. A tremendous rip at the maul probably saved a try, while he achieved two further turnovers. McCarthy made 15 powerful carries and caused havoc with his counter rucking while he also put in 17 tackles. Claimed a well-deserved try for good measure and has put down a strong claim to partner Maro Itoje at lock for the Tests. 3. Tadhg Furlong 5 This was not his greatest game. It will probably go under the radar due to the margin of victory but the Lions scrum struggled and Wallabies loosehead Tom Robertson had Furlong under huge pressure. The experienced Ireland tighthead was also not as prominent as usual around the park. He needs to up his game. 2. Dan Sheehan 6 The Lions captain put in a solid performance with 12 tackles and five carries. Sheehan also scored the opening try with and put in a big shift around the park even if he did not set the world alight. On the whole the lineout was a lot better than it was against Argentina in Dublin which is credit to Sheehan.

Pierre Schoeman 5 The Scotland prop was industrious if not spectacular with 10 tackles and four carries. But he was under severe pressure at a couple of scrums and another referee would have penalised the Lions. Needs to do better if he is to have a chance of overtaking Ellis Genge and Andrew Porter for the Tests. Replacements 16. Ronan Kelleher 6 Only got 14 minutes on the field but got a few powerful carries, while the lineout functioned well. 17. Andrew Porter 6 Solid upon entering the fray with a couple of decent carries and scrummaged well. 18. Will Stuart 6 The Gallagher Premiership winner was solid and will fancy his chances of putting pressure on Tadhg Furlong for the Test team. 19. Ollie Chessum 7 The England star looked very prominent after coming onto the field and ensured the lineout ran smoothly. 20. Jack Conan 6 A couple of powerful carries but also fumbled the ball forward once when the Lions had momentum. 21. Alex Mitchell 7 Looked sharp after replacing Williams and finished a try superbly at the death. 22. Huw Jones 6 The Scotland centre looked dangerous will ball in hand and will surely get a start against the Queensland Reds in midweek. Article continues below 23. Marcus Smith 7 Did well after replacing Russell with his vision and passing helping to add a few extra tries. Also contributed four points from the kicking tee.

Last year, a woman was injured and taken to hospital after falling through a large section of Blackpool pier. LancsLive reports witnesses at the beach initially feared she had died. Lancashire Police confirmed that a woman plummeted through the wooden structure was taken to hospital for treatment. A witness at the beach with his children told Manchester Evening News in August: "I was walking the beach with my kids and heard a thud. A huge thud next to me nearly on top of my head. "A lady ploughed to the floor, smashing through the Central Pier. I was absolutely terrified... I thought she was dead." Horrified witnesses watched on, many of whom were on the beach with their children at the time, as crews rushed to the woman's aid. That accident came less than two months after a young boy was left in a vegetative state after somersaulting off Margate stone pier.
