A British holidaymaker suspected of taking a drug dubbed Cannibal had to be restrained by nearly a dozen police officers after he started BITING tourists on a Magaluf beach.

Spanish cops were called to a beach in the party resort after the drugged-up Brit was spotted by a lifeguard chasing people and biting them.

Authorities suspect he may have taken an experimental drug dubbed Cannibal which is similar to one linked to a gruesome attack on a homeless Miami man.

It comes just a day after a shocking video emerged of a teenage girl performed sex acts on more than 20 men in a nightclub in the popular resort.

Police in Magaluf had to call for reinforcements after arriving to calm the 28-year-old man down and being attacked themselves.

Ten officers eventually managed to restrain him. A doctor had to sedate him after he was tied to a stretcher before he could be taken away.

He reportedly confessed afterwards he had taken a cocktail of different drugs.

The drug dubbed 'Cannibal' is also being linked to an incident in the early hours of Wednesday morning in Magaluf when a 17-year-old English girl had to be brought under control and taken to hospital by a five-strong medical response team after biting other revellers.

Friends claimed afterwards she had only had two drinks and taken no drugs and officers were probing whether her drinks had been spiked.

The incident happened in Punta Ballena near to the bar where an 18-year-old British girl was filmed performing sex acts on 23 men.

She is said to have agreed to the sordid stunt - which has made headlines around the world - in return for a free holiday, only to be told afterwards it was the name of a cocktail.

Detectives said last week they believed dealers in San Antonio on neighbouring Ibiza were peddling the mysterious mind-bending narcotic to young holidaymakers.

Officers trying to clear the streets of the mystery drug, blamed for a recent attack in which a British tourist had to be handcuffed after biting a policeman, have branded it ‘Cannibal.’

It is thought to be similar to bath salts, which contain a powerful stimulant called MDPV.

They were blamed for the horrific attack by Rudy Eugene on homeless Ronald Poppo, 65, in Miami in June 2012, although subsequent tests only showed up traces of marihuana.
