THREE bouncers have been stabbed during a terrifying attack at an exclusive resort in Marbella.
A 25-year-old tourist has been arrested for attempted murder after allegedly injuring three people during a violent rampage at the Puente Romano hotel at around 4am on Sunday morning.
One of the security guards was slashed in the neck and all three had to be taken to the Hospital Costa del Sol.
The suspect is a Swedish man of Arab origin who forced his way into the resort’s nightclub, called Le Suite, while armed with an 11cm blade.
The bouncers are said to have immediately tackled him to the ground and attempted to hold him down while waiting for police to arrive.
It was then that the man lashed out with his blade, slashing one of the men in the neck and injuring two others.
He was quickly disarmed and arrested by a group of nearby Policia Local officers while trying to flee the scene in his car.
Workers at the club raced to place pressure on the victims’ wounds and bandaged them up in a bid to slow the bleeding.
Policia Nacional arrived at the scene to find three men, aged 50, 58 and 63, injured and bleeding, with serious cuts to their head, arms and legs.
A trail of blood was seen on the floor, according to local newspaper Malaga Hoy.
The suspect, from Stockholm, was staying at a hotel in the upmarket town of Benahavis.
He is accused of attempted murder and causing injuries with a bladed weapon.
The Puente Romano hotel is one of the most exclusive five-star resorts on the Costa del Sol and in Spain.
Novak Djokovic is a regular guest, with the tennis star often staying and training there.
