Brit dad-of-three, 29, chased by gang and thrown off cliff in horrifying attack in holiday hotspot | The Sun
A BRITISH dad-of-three was allegedly chased by a gang and thrown off a cliff in a horrifying attack in Spain.
Steen Nodwell, 29, was on holiday with pals in the popular coastal resort of Salou when he was pushed off a cliff by a group of men on Friday night, his family said.
He was left with a fractured skull and broken arms and needed multiple operations at a Spanish hospital in the nearby city of Tarragon.
His sister Bethan, who is now raising funds to pay for her brother to get back to the UK, said: ''Steen is a strong and determined man and this incident showcases that.
''A gang of local men chased my brother and after brutally attacking him, they threw him off a cliff.
''It is only through sheer determination and courage that my brother despite his life threatening injuries managed to get up and walk for help.

Bethan said Steen was left with two broken arms, a broken jaw, a fractured eye socket and skull, a shattered cheekbone, and internal bleeding.
Although the expenses for his surgery were covered, Bethan and her family are raising funds to drive Steen home to Weston-super-Mare, Somerset.
