Mass brawl among 200 students shocked Mallorca!

On April 17, 2025, a mass brawl occurred in Alcúdia in Mallorca in which over 200 students were involved. This argument took place both inside the Bellevue hotel and on the street in front of it. Several young people suffered injuries and had to be taken to the hospital. Among the injured was a boy who suffered a stab wound but did not hide in mortal danger. The incident describes the tumultuous situation as "total chaos", with the local police had considerable difficulties to separate the arguments. Such measures were supported by strengthening the Guardia Civil, which was also called to the site. These incidents raise questions about the security of students on a school trip and how such violent arguments can arise within young groups.

A total of around 2,700 students were accommodated at the Hotel Bellevue during a final trip. In the past, this hotel was negatively in the headlines because it was taken by house occupiers in winter. In the days before the mass brawl, there were already several smaller incidents that the police called on the scene, which further increased the tense atmosphere among the school classes. This group of students consisted of participants from various schools from the Spanish mainland and Portugal, who wanted to spend their last night on the sunny island.

background and prevention

The exact background of the violent argument are currently still unclear. The responsible authorities are required to examine the situation in more detail and to develop targeted measures in order to prevent such incidents in the future. The Federal Youth Ministry in Germany had emphasized in a corresponding initiative that the prevention of crime and violence has made significant progress in the past two decades. Important measures aim to support and stabilize socially disadvantaged young people and those who fight with violence or school problems.

A small part of the suspect young people, about 5-10 %, appeared several times with serious crimes. Intensive offenders are often influenced by a deviant circle of friends and often have complex social problems. Cooperation between schools, police and youth welfare structures plays a crucial role in the prevention of violence among young people. The specialist office for children's and youth criminal prevention at the German Youth Institute offers a broad horizon of experience and is named as a central point of contact for the support of local and nationwide projects.

At the consequence, the students can now leave their class trip behind, while the Easter holidaymakers who are now visiting the region can enjoy quiet holidays in Alcúdia. However, the incidents are a challenge for the security authorities, since they show that there is also an increased potential for violence at leisure events such as school trips, which is urgently needed to address.

For more information about the incident in Alcúdia, it is recommended to take a look at the reporting of Vienna.at, which have summarized the events in detail.
