Spanish bar owner was ‘kneecapped’ before being robbed by a dangerous Midland fugitive.
The Dutch victim was running the drinking hole in the holiday town of La Cala, on the Costa Del Sol, when he was brutally beaten up by three men.
One of the thugs – who left the Dutchman needing screws in a shattered kneecap – was said to have been Jonathon Lejman.
The 29 year-old, from Stoke-on-Trent, is being hunted by British cops for slashing a man’s face during a burglary.
The Spanish bar owner, 54, had run the bar with his Birmingham-born wife.
But in January he was alone at the venue when he was attacked by the gang, who escaped with £700.
The shocked victim was hospitalised and he and his partner later sold the bar.
But they claim they later recognised their attacker after a UK police appeal about the 10 most wanted British criminals hiding out in Spain.
The bar owner’s wife, originally from Great Barr, spoke out about the cowardly attack.
“We couldn’t believe it,” said the 55 year-old, who asked not to be named.
“We read about Jonathon Lejman in a Spanish newspaper and my husband said: ‘That’s the man who beat me up!’
