British man critical after brawl at Zakynthos party resort
A 35-year-old British tourist was in the capital's Attiko Hospital in critical condition on Friday following a brawl with a fellow Briton in the party resort of Laganas on the Ionian island of Zakynthos on Thursday night.
According to witnesses, the man had been drinking at a bar in Lagana when, for reasons that remain unclear, two other patrons, also Britons, started threatening and pushing him.
The altercation continued in the street outside the bar where one of the two men reportedly punched the victim, who fell and struck his head on the ground, sustaining serious injuries.
The two men fled the scene but were found later with the help of an amateur video of the incident recorded by a passerby.

Homeowners in England free to build bigger extensions
Homeowners in England are being given the green light to build larger extensions without planning permission.
Temporary rules, which allowed bigger single-storey rear extensions without a full planning application, are being made permanent.
Additions to terraced and semi-detached homes can be up to 6m, while detached houses will be able to add even larger structures, up to 8m long.
Neighbours will still be consulted and can raise objections to extensions.

However, the 82-year-old pensioner cannot help but laugh as she concedes her grandson’s offer to rehouse her in his recently acquired £50 million Grade II listed mansion is sorely tempting.
