BREAKING: Brits arrested for ‘shooting’ after police chase injures five officers on Spain’s Costa del Sol

Breaking

TWO British expats have been arrested following a bloody brawl which saw several shots fired on the Costa del Sol yesterday.

The two men, aged between 25 and 30, were cuffed in Estepona after attempting to speed off from the scene of the fight.

Policia Nacional had rushed to the area after receiving several calls warning of a scrap involving firearms.

While shots are reported to have been fired, no one is believed to have received a bullet.

When a police patrol car arrived to the scene, the two Brits jumped in a car and attempted to speed off.

However during the chase they hit an undercover Policia Nacional car, injuring several officers.

A total of five officers were left with minor to moderate injuries, with the suspects to be charged with various crimes.

The investigation remains open.
