He is now in intensive care with “multiple injuries,” a hospital source confirmed.
At 6am on Saturday, a neighbour at the Maria Elena building reportedly called emergency services to report a man lying on the ground and heavily bleeding.
The man was believed to have been conscious but had his face and head injured, the Majorca Daily Bulletin reports.
Local reports describe him as British although cops have not yet officially announced his nationality.

Police believe he lost his balance while under the effects of alcohol after a night out partying with friends.
They claim he may have fallen after trying to jump over a wall separating the street from a patio inside the apartment complex.
One island newspaper said he had been in a “critical” condition when he was taken to Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital Palma.
The apartment complex is said to be the same where a 23-year-old bar worker was found dead in nearly four years ago.
