A BRITISH fugitive, 32, has been arrested at Alicante-Elche airport on suspicion of a brutal assault on two American soldiers in Germany.
The man had a European Arrest Warrant issued against him by German authorities for attempted homicide.
Policia Nacional officers were carrying routine passenger border checks when the suspect’s name came up as having a warrant against him.
He was transferred to the National Court in Madrid for extradition to be processed and faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted.
The Brit is accused of the assaults in the early hours of June 2 outside a restaurant in Germany.
In consort with two other people, two American soldiers were attacked for no apparent reason.
The detainee practiced martial arts and bodybuilding on a regular basis, and was said be in ‘unusually’ strong physical shape as he knocked out the two soldiers without out much effort.
When the victims were lying on unconscious on the ground, he allegedly continued to hit them with great power- repeatedly striking their heads and other areas of their bodies.
He left the scene with his companions after witnesses called the police.
The two soldiers were seriously injured with initial concerns about whether they would pull through.
The location of the assault in Germany has not been disclosed.
