CCTV Footage Shows British DJ Being Savagely Beaten At Ibiza Apartment Block

Shocking CCTV footage shows the moment a British DJ was savagely beaten at his Ibiza apartment block by a man who was later let go by police.

Terrified Kenny McSween was pounced on in the lobby and subjected to the sickening 20-minute assault at 6:50 a.m. on September 20.

His assailant pinned him down and gnawed on his face.

The attack lasted so long that the alleged Spanish attacker even had time to take his jacket off and wipe sweat from his forehead before carrying on the beating.

But when police arrived at the reception area of the Palmera Apartment complex in San Antonio, Kenny was shocked when instead they handcuffed him - and let his attacker go.

Kenny, 38, says he still has “no idea” why the man launched his assault but police later told him he had mistaken the Brit for an intruder.

The DJ said: “I honestly thought he was going to kill me. I feel like I’ve gone 12 rounds with Mike Tyson.”

"I have no idea why he did it. The police told me later he suspected I didn’t live there. But he went well beyond any reasonable use of force to detain me. Once he started punching me he didn’t stop until the police arrived.”

Kenny has been DJing in Ibiza for two years and, alongside his partner Sian Edwards, they are known as the “Ken and Barbie” of the Spanish party island.

Kenny was taken to the local hospital in San Antonio following the attack, and was given seven stitches and X-rayed.

According to Kenny, his attacker was allowed to go free after giving officers his details, and has not been arrested or charged with any offence.

“It’s incredible. If this was in Britain, he’d be behind bars by now,” he said, adding that he was “clearly prepared” and now wants him to be charged with attempted murder.

Kenny has spoken to the Guardia Civil, the Policia Nacional, and the local authorities, but has not yet received any information about the investigation.

He believes the man lives in the apartment block and is so scared for his safety he has moved back to London, claiming that the police just “looked the other way.”

A British Embassy spokesman said: “We were informed of an incident in Ibiza involving a British national by a family member of theirs.

"Our staff were unable to speak to the individual directly as no contact details were provided but we are ready to provide assistance, if requested.”

The attack comes a few weeks after it was reported British police visited the island resort to help the Guardia Civil deal with investigations where British holidaymakers are involved in crime, whether as victims or offenders.
