In the early hours of Wednesday morning, nightclub owner Wayne Lineker found himself in the middle of a heated argument in the lively streets of Ibiza. While trying to protect a young female friend, Wayne was suddenly knocked out by a brutal punch to the jaw from an unidentified man. The 62-year-old, also known as the older brother of renowned footballer-turned-pundit Gary Lineker, fell to the ground and remained unconscious for six minutes. This shocking incident took place outside the popular Eden Bar, which is situated in Wayne's own establishment, O Beach Ibiza.
According to eyewitnesses, Wayne was among a group of around 10 people who were caught up in the altercation. In the disturbing video footage, we can see Wayne holding his hand out in defense as the man rushes towards him, delivering a powerful punch that left him lying on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth. It is still unclear whether anyone has been arrested in connection to this incident.
Reports suggest that the argument began when the man and his friends started bothering Wayne's female friend. When Wayne tried to leave in a taxi, he was confronted by the bar owner and his group of friends. In a fit of rage, the man struck Wayne, causing him to collapse on the ground as horrified onlookers gasped. The assailant and his friends then fled the scene.
An 18-year-old witness who was present at the time of the incident described it as "horrible." They recalled that Wayne appeared to be lifeless at one point and that he was unconscious for quite some time. Fortunately, Wayne's friend stayed by his side and helped him until the police arrived.
Wayne, who is also a well-known figure on the island, has yet to make a statement about the incident. On social media, he has been actively sharing promotional posts and even wished his son a happy 20th birthday. It is worth noting that Wayne's relationship with his brother Gary has been strained since 2008, but he continues to be his number one fan.
