British Mom Claims ‘Unprovoked Attack’ by Bouncer at Popular Benidorm Bar

A disturbing incident at a nightclub in Benidorm, Spain, has left British mother Charlotte Benson, 31, with serious injuries and a harrowing tale. While enjoying a night out on March 28, Benson claims she was violently attacked by a bouncer at The Red Lion. She recounts being shoved to the ground and repeatedly kicked in the ribs, causing visible bruising and internal injuries.

The attack, described as unprovoked, occurred as Benson returned from the bathroom; she was stunned by the sheer force of the assault. “I must have flown halfway across the dance floor,” she said. Benson’s ordeal didn’t end there. After struggling to get up, she faced aggression from the bouncer, who allegedly shouted at her to leave.

Despite calling an ambulance for help, she faced indifference from paramedics and police, who reportedly dismissed her claims. “They just see you as another pissed up Brit abroad,” she laments, underscoring a lack of compassion.

The Red Lion has issued a statement referring to the complexities of nightclub security, yet Benson remains adamant that such violence should not be justified, stating she was not intoxicated. Her call for awareness highlights concerns for safety in popular destinations like Benidorm, reinforcing the need for accountability in nightlife venues.
