He was initially rushed to a private clinic in Ibiza Town where he underwent an emergency operation before being airlifted to Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital Palma.

Local reports said the transfer had occurred because there was no paediatric intensive care unit available in Ibiza.

The youngster is said to have suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, skull fracture and cerebral oedema as well as chest injuries and a broken jaw.
