A dad was left with horrific injuries after being brutally beaten and thrown off a cliff while on holiday in Spain. Steen Nodwell was on holiday with friends in the coastal resort of Salou on Friday night (10 June) when he was pursued by a group of men, his family claim.

The 29-year-old says he was then attacked and pushed off a cliff - leaving him with horrific injuries, including a fractured skull and broken arms. His sister Bethan says he is now stranded in a Spanish hospital in the nearby city Tarragon and has required multiple operations, the Mirror reports.

On a GoFundMe page, she says: ''Hi, I’m Bethan. This fundraiser is in aid of my brother who was left for dead whilst holidaying in Spain. 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. 'Had he not done that, the outcome could have been tragically different."

Steen, who is from Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset, was nearly killed, his sister said. She added: ''These men attempted to kill my brother and now we need your help. Steen has two broken arms, one of which is a compound fracture, a broken jaw, a fractured eye socket and skull, a shattered cheekbone, internal injuries and more.

''He needs several surgeries all of which are covered through his GHIC card
