They are reportedly a 24-year-old and a 33-year-old who have also been charged with injuries and serious disturbance of public order.
Shocking CCTV captured the savage attack as a tourist was seen grabbing a bottle before crashing it onto the back of a reveller's head.
The man went on to try and throw a punch at others with two people being left injured.
The 24-year-old Brit was held after cops rushed to the party resort and saw him confronting others as he was covered in blood and waved a broken bottle in his hand.
It is unclear if either of the British men are the ones in the footage.
According to witnesses, the man, his companion and two other people who had fled, had assaulted both employees and two unknown people, customers of the restaurant.
Several ambulances were called to the scene with three victims being rushed to the Son Espases Hospital.
They suffered wounds on their neck, head, arms and legs, local media reports.
A spokesman for the Civil Guard confirmed: "Two people aged 24 and 33 have been arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide, wounding and causing serious public disorder following an incident at a nightspot in Palmanova.
'The arrests occurred in the early hours of Sunday."
They added: 'Officers sent to Majorca as part of summer reinforcements were carrying out routine security patrols when they were alerted a mass might was occurring in a premises near to where they were.
'They saw a man covered in blood brandishing a broken bottle who was attacking others present.
'They quickly reduced him and got the broken bottle off him."
Two other people fled the scene before police arrived, police added.
The nationality of those injured has not been revealed.
It is also not yet known if the two Brits have been formally charged or have appeared in court.
It comes after shocking footage captured the moment a Magaluf doorman floored a British tourist with a flurry of punches after being bottled in a horror attack.
The bouncer was left with a nasty gash that needed at least 20 stitches - and the Brit has now been convicted over the assault at Plaza on the bustling Punta Ballena strip.
CCTV footage showed the Lithuanian bouncer exploding at Max Barnes, then 19, who he has up against a wall after the drinker bottled him.
He unloads a series of sharp jabs in the packed nightspot, acting in self-defence.
The customer dodges as many as he can but some of the blows land home.
The fight spills into the middle of the bar, where the bouncer delivers one more clean whack that sends the customer sprawling onto the floor.
He then brings his hand to his blood-covered face and neck to inspect the damage.
The 34-year-old doorman was left with a gash needing 20 stitches, a court was told.

Manchester Airport trial jurors told stamp and kick a 'distraction'
Jurors have been urged by prosecutors to "not be distracted" by the kick and stamp of a police officer during a fracas at Manchester phone footage of the incident on July 23 last year was shared on social media and went Amaad, 26, and Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, are on trial accused of assaulting PC Zachary Marsden, PC Lydia Ward and PC Ellie Cook after they tried to arrest the younger officers went to arrest Mr Amaaz after reports that a male fitting his description had headbutted a member of the public inside the airport minutes earlier. Prosecutors say Mr Amaaz resisted police and his brother, Muhammad Amaad, 26, intervened as a "high level of violence" was inflicted on the defendants, from Rochdale, Greater Manchester, deny the allegations and say they were lawfully acting in self defence or in defence of each Amaaz is alleged to have assaulted PC Marsden and PC Ward, causing them actual bodily is also accused of the assault of emergency worker PC Cook, and the earlier assault by beating of a member of the public, Abdulkareem Ismaeil, at a Starbucks cafe in T2 Amaad is alleged to have assaulted Pc Marsden, causing actual bodily harm. 'A distraction' In his closing speech to the jury earlier, prosecutor Paul Greaney KC said it was "simple logic and common sense" that what happened subsequently was "irrelevant as to why the defendants used the force they did".He said: "We don't shy away from that kick and stamp by PC Marsden. However, what does that kick, what does that stamp have to do with your task?"The defence suggest, at least as we understood it, that the kick and stamp and other aspects of the aftermath reveal that the officers were out of control from start to finish."Mr Greaney said: "We suggest from all of what you have seen and all of what you have heard from these three professional officers when they gave evidence is that you can be sure that the suggestion that they were out of control is false and wrong."The jury was asked by the prosecutor to "focus on the violence used by the defendants and not be distracted by what happened afterwards". He said: "That's what it is, a distraction and an example of an effort to try to complicate what is a simple case." Mr Greaney said the claims by Mr Amaaz that he did not realise that PC Ward and PC Cook were women when he struck them was a "barefaced lie".PC Ward suffered a broken nose as she was floored by a punch to the face and PC Cook was also knocked to the ground by a number of elbows and punches, the court has Greaney told jurors: "Of course we know you will make fair allowance for the fast-moving and dynamic events but the suggestion he didn't know they were women cannot exist in the world we inhabit."Mr Greaney said Mr Amaad had "no legitimate reason to seek to prevent the officers from carrying out their duty particularly in the circumstances where it must have been obvious his brother was resisting arrest".His claims that he thought his brother was being choked by PC Marsden was "demonstrably untrue", said the Greaney said the officers were doing what the law entitled them to do in their plan to seek to move Mr Amaaz from the pay station area and then tell him outside he was under said: "What was going through their minds is we have a duty to perform and we are going to perform it."Conversely, what was going through the mind of the first defendant, Amaaz, was that he plainly knew that the people taking hold of him were police officers. He had just attacked a man in public in an international airport. "What he did think they were there for?"

Jay Slater consumed drugs and alcohol before attempting long walk, inquest told
The British teenager Jay Slater had taken drugs and alcohol and had a 14-hour walk to his accommodation before his disappearance sparked a four-week search in Tenerife, an inquest into his death heard. The 19-year-old had taken ecstasy pills, cocaine and possibly ketamine, along with alcohol, before he went to an Airbnb with two strangers, one of his friends told a court on Thursday. Bradley Geoghegan, who had gone on holiday with Slater, said Slater had video-called him after he left the apartment on the morning of 17 June last year. 'I said, 'put your maps on to see how far you were',' Geoghegan told Preston coroner's court. 'It was like a 14-hour walk or an hour drive. I said, 'Get a taxi back', then he just goes, 'I will ring you back.'' The witness said he did not think his friend had any money on him, and taxis in Tenerife insisted on payment upfront before carrying a fare. Geoghegan said he did not believe Slater was fearful or under duress. 'No. I think he probably got there and thought, 'Why am I here?', sobered up and decided to come back,' he said. Slater, from Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, was holidaying on the Spanish island and had been to the NRG music festival with friends at the Papagayo Tenerife nightclub in the resort district of Playa de las Américas. He vanished the morning after going to the Airbnb and was reported missing on 18 June. Evidence heard during the inquest suggested he had left the holiday let, and after failing to get a bus or taxi, attempted to walk back to his own apartment and had fallen from a height into a ravine. A mass search was launched before his body was found by a mountain rescue team from the Spanish civil guard, in a steep and inaccessible area near the village of Masca, on 15 July. Slater's mother, Debbie Duncan, had asked for the inquest into his death to be resumed on Thursday after a number of witnesses failed to give evidence at the last hearing in May. On the night out he had received phone messages from friends telling him to go home as he was 'off his head'. More messages from friends warned him about the 'boiling' heat of the day, but activity data on his phone stopped at 8.51am, suggesting his phone battery had run out. The hearing in May had heard evidence from witnesses including a toxicology expert. The court was told analysis showed traces of drugs, including cocaine, ketamine and ecstasy, along with alcohol, were found in Slater's body. The Home Office pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd said his postmortem examination gave Slater's cause of death as head injuries. His body showed no evidence of restraint or assault, with the pattern of injuries consistent with a fall from a height.

Dozens of Jewish children are removed from flight for being 'unruly' with summer camp teacher arrested - as airline denies anti-semitism claims
The expulsion of dozens of teenage passengers from a jet in Spain amid reports they were endangering the safety of the flight has sparked a row, with the carrier coming under fire for alleged anti-Semitism. Some 44 French-Jewish students aged between 10 and 15 and several adults were escorted off Vueling flight V8166 as it waited on the tarmac at Valencia airport yesterday ahead of its return to Paris. Footage shared to social media appeared to show one adult member of the group being detained by Spanish civil guard officers in the walkway shortly after she was removed from the jet. It was later revealed that the passengers were members of the Kineret Club, a Jewish summer camp group, and were returning to France after a week-long excursion in Spain. A statement released by the club alleged that the captain of the flight ordered the removal of the group 'without a valid explanation', adding: 'The use of a few words in Hebrew was clearly enough to trigger an extremely serious, collective, humiliating, and discriminatory measure. 'No other circumstance could explain the treatment inflicted on this group of children.' The statement, signed by the club's lawyer Julie Jacob, went on to say it would launch a formal complaint and legal action, claiming that the passengers 'were seated, respecting the rules and the staff... they did not pose any disturbance to public order or flight safety'. This triggered outcry in Israel, with Minister of Diaspora Amichai Chikli accusing Vueling and Spanish law enforcement of antisemitism, saying the kids were removed after 'singing Hebrew songs on the plane' and accusing Vueling staff of declaring Israel a 'terrorist state', without providing evidence. In response, a Vueling spokesperson said the passengers were removed after the minors repeatedly tampered with the plane's emergency equipment and interrupted the crew's safety demonstration. 'A group of passengers engaged in highly disruptive behaviour and adopted a very confrontational attitude, putting at risk the safe conduct of the flight. 'We categorically deny any suggestion that our crew's behaviour was related to the religion of the passengers involved.' 'This group mishandled emergency equipment and actively disrupted the mandatory safety demonstration, repeatedly ignoring instructions from cabin crew. 'Despite multiple warnings, this inappropriate behaviour persisted, which forced the crew to activate established security protocols,' the statement read, adding that Spain's civil guard took the decision to remove the passengers after being notified by the captain. 'We categorically deny any suggestion that our crew's decision related to the religion of the passengers involved. This decision was taken solely to ensure the safety of all passengers,' it said. Spain's Civil Guard confirmed all the passengers removed from the plane were French nationals. A Civil Guard spokesperson said the agents involved in the removal operation and the arrest of one member of the party were not aware of the group's religious affiliation. The woman arrested following her removal from the aircraft was said to be one of the directors of the club, according to Israeli media, but that has not been confirmed. Vueling shared a lengthy statement rejecting allegations of anti-Semitism Club Kineret alleged in its statement that it had collected written statements from other passengers on the plane 'confirming that the children did not pose a threat to public order or flight safety'. It also said that the group was expelled from the flight 'without care, escort, accommodation or food'. The Civil Guard said 23 minors and two adults from the group boarded a flight belonging to another airline, while the rest spent Wednesday night at a hotel. A spokesperson said arrangements were being made for them to leave Valencia later on Thursday. The Federation for Jewish Communities of Spain today expressed concern about the incident, calling on Vueling to provide documentary evidence of what happened on the plane. 'The various accounts circulating on social media and in the media to which we have had access do not clarify the cause of the incident,' the organisation said.
