The Ibiza hotel where Oldham Athletic striker Kian Harratt was seen throwing a plastic chair at a woman, has released a statement on the situation.
Harratt, 23, was on holiday with some mates when the incident happened at the hotel's poolside.
He posted on TikTok that he felt 'apologetic and terrible', though after claiming that he didn't intend to hit the woman who 'went down a bit easy'.

The Brit even pointed out in the video that there was a 'bully' who 'started it all'.
Describing him as '6'6 and built like a brick', the footballer claimed he was making people at the resort 'feel uncomfortable' with his 'daft' actions.
The 'bully' has since responded, claiming that they were actually 'getting along with everybody' while Harratt's group was the one causing problems at the hotel.
Now, the hotel where the incident took place, the Marco Polo Hotel in San Antonio, has released a full statement about the shocking incident, which has gone viral on social media.

In a statement to the Oldham Times, they said: "The fight in the pool lasted less than three minutes since our corporate security at the hotel acted immediately.
"No chairs were thrown at any guests; the lady got in the middle, it seems that with the intention to stop the fight," in contrast to what was seen in the video.
They went on: "The lady was asked by our security members if she wanted to report to the police and file a complaint, but she said she was okay and she did not want to, that she just slipped and she was fine, and she thanked our security members."
"It took less than three minutes for the incident to end since our security acted quickly, and as soon as they acted, the fighters left the pool area."
"It really is a shame for us and for our teams to have to deal with this kind of issue, especially when people are supposed to come on holiday to enjoy and have fun, and not to act in other ways," the hotel concluded.

MailOnline were responsible for identifying Harratt as one of those throwing plastic chairs in the video.
The striker, who scored the National League play-off final winner against Southend United in extra time, which sent Oldham back to League Two, could be seen retreating in the clip.
Harratt claimed in the caption of a clip on TikTok, which showed a different angle and version of events, that he was defending a friend of his.
The man who he accused of being a 'bully' alleged punched Harratt's friend in the face before kicking him after he fell, causing them to get involved.

He added in the caption: "I’d have felt even worse if we left my mate to get badly beaten up while he’s trying to enjoy his holiday," he said before concluding the post.
"I hope this video opens peoples eyes I had to post it cause I’ve had nothing but abuse all morning and I’m sure this will clear it or so it should."
