His mother previously stated that there would be ‘permanent consequences’ for her son and suggested ‘severe brain damage’.
She described the attack as coming ‘from a score of mad men’ and that they ‘kicked his head for endless minutes’.
Two of his friends suffered minor injuries.
The assault happened in the early hours of October 5 near the Magma Club in the Albufereta area of Alicante.
The victim was returning home with his friends after a night out at the club.
They spotted a crying girl on the street and tried to help her.
She had left the VIP room at the Magma Club where she and her boyfriend had been at a birthday party.
He was angry about her departure and confronted the group helping her before a mass assault broke out.
The Policia Nacional said that one of the attackers punched the 18-year-old five times, while another shoved him to the ground, where he hit his head and fell unconscious.
The assailants fled before police arrived who then took witness statements and eventually managed to identify the perpetrators.
