British man, 29, is beaten to death 'by bouncers' outside Cyprus nightclub
- Huseyin Mavideniz, 29, died after being attacked early on Thursday morning
- Local reports said a gang of men attacked the hospital he was rushed to
A British man has allegedly been beaten to death by bouncers in Cyprus, according to local reports.
Huseyin Mavideniz, 29, died after being attacked early morning on Thursday outside a club in Iskele, northern Cyprus, local media said, citing the police.
He was allegedly punched in the head several times by the club's security before being rushed to Famagusta State Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Shortly after Mavideniz arrived at the medical centre, a group of men turned up and proceeded to wreak havoc - smashing windows in the hospital's A&E department with a sledgehammer - local reports said.
It was not immediately clear who the group was or why they attacked the hospital.
The Cyprus Mail reported that Mavideniz 'engaged in an altercation' with a 26-year-old man outside the 'Breeze' bar in a town called Trikomo at around 3.30am.
The 26-year-old man, who has not been named, has been arrested by police. Another man is understood to be wanted in connection with the incident.
Deputy Chief Physician of Famagusta State Hospital, Dr. Eyüp Göksu, told Yenidüzen: 'He died when he came to the hospital. The cops are investigating right now. We will receive detailed information from our doctors on duty.'
Another local news site, Kibris Gazetesi, said a further ten people had been arrested for 'serious assault and grave damage' - likely in connection to the events at the hospital.
Pictures from the medical centre posted to Facebook showed smashed glass covering the floor, chairs and desks of a reception room.
The windows seem to have been smashed from the outside-in.
According to Cyprus news site Yenidüzen, a group of people prevented the outlet's reporter from taking photographs and forced them to delete others from their phone while accompanied by the police.
Yenidüzen did not detail who forced the deletion of the pictures.
Mavideniz is understood to have travelled to Cyprus with his father for him to have medical treatment, The Sun reported.
MailOnline has contacted the Foreign Office for comment.
News of the British man's death comes just two months after a 38-year-old British woman was found dead in Cyprus in the home she shared with her partner.
The woman, who has not been named, is understood to have been found 'with bruises all over her body,' local media said at the time.
The Cyprus Mail reported that the woman's partner informed local authorities of the death, and that an autopsy had been ordered.
