Two British brothers were alleged stabbed by a holidaymaker in a row over sun-loungers at a five-star hotel in Turkey.

Danny and Ben Slade, from Ashford, Surrey, needed hospital treatment after the incident during a family break at the Isis Hotel and Spa in Bodrum.

According to a newspaper report, the brothers, who were on holiday with their parents and Danny’s girlfriend, got into a row with another holidaymaker over the sun-loungers and Ben, 22, told him to take two of them.

However, the man returned with a knife and stabbed Ben in the arms and legs and, when Danny intervened, he was also stabbed in the chest.

The attack took place in front of other sunbathers and children, said the Daily Mail.

Danny leaped in the hotel pool to escape while Ben hid in a bush, it said.

The Isis Hotel and Spa declined to comment and a man was arrested and bailed by local police.
