Sunbed wars have been making headlines over the summer season with reports of tourists claiming their sunbeds very early in the morning or last thing at night , "reserving" them with towels and leaving them empty for hours on end. Diario de Avisos says the latest "violent episode" brought "hammock wars" to the limit in the Canary Islands. The alleged attack took place on Monday when according to the Spanish man, his wife and his two daughters, 18 and 22, decided to go to the pool while he took a nap. The woman, who "doesn't know any English", sat on an empty sun lounger, and suddenly two British men "started insulting her" and claimed she had stolen their sunbed. The older Brit allegedly overturned her hammock, which fell on her foot, says her husband. "She got scared and didn't understand what was happening", he told Diario de Avisos - and neither did her daughters who were allegedly pushed. He said other hotel guests who were in the pool at the time immediately criticised the violent attitude of the two men. "I went down and two seconds later the Civil Guard arrived, which separated everyone," he said. Details of all parties involved were taken. The family said t){kind=link}
