A 16-year-old British tourist has been arrested on suspicion of trying to rape another UK holidaymaker at her hotel in Tenerife.
The teenager, who had flown to the island with his family, was staying in the resort of Playa de Las Americas.
It is alleged he attempted to enter the 22-year-old's room, who was staying in the hotel next door, and force himself on her.
Detectives said today he fled after she resisted and screamed.
He has been remanded to a juvenile detention centre following an appearance at a youth court and banned from leaving Spain pending an ongoing investigation.
