This is the shocking moment a tourist was beaten up by a member of staff at a Turkish beach after he reportedly complained about the price of a sun bed.

The brawl broke out on Friday at Damlatas Beach in the Alanya district of Antalya after the tourist, who was described as British by Turkish media, enquired about renting a sun lounger but decided to opt out after finding it too costly.

Instead, the tourist is said have dumped his belongings on the sand so he could go for a dip in the sea.

An employee told the tourist to take his stuff elsewhere, but events escalated after the tourist refused, which resulted in the the staff member reportedly beating him up in front of other holidaymakers.

Footage shows the employee attacking a man, who can be seen falling onto the sand as he is punched and kicked.
