Oldham Footballer Kian Harratt Throws Chair at Woman in Ibiza Altercation

Kian Harratt, a 23-year-old striker for Oldham Athletic in England's EFL League Two, was filmed throwing a chair during a poolside altercation in Ibiza, Spain, hitting a woman who was trying to break up a fight. Harratt expressed regret for the incident but blamed others, claiming he threw the chair only after it was thrown at him and that he did not intend to hit the woman. However, witnesses, including holidaymaker Kyle Crawford, disputed Harratt's account, stating that he and his friends were the aggressors, behaving immaturely toward a group of women and initiating the conflict. The video showed the chair striking the woman and causing another man to fall into the pool, escalating the melee until hotel staff intervened. This incident follows Harratt's recent football success, having scored the winning goal to secure Oldham Athletic's promotion to League Two. Harratt's past controversies include a suspension and fine in 2024 for betting violations involving football matches.
