Sydney Cole, 19, is suspected of attacking her fellow soldier while they partied together on Sunday night in Magaluf. 17 Sydney Cole was yesterday hauled before a judge accused of attacking her squaddie pal in a Magaluf bar Credit: Instagram 17 The 19-year-old appeared in court yesterday Credit: Facebook 17 Sarah Garrity, 22, was stabbed by her friend on holiday in Magaluf Credit: Instagram 17 The pair were holidaying together in Magaluf when they had a row, it is claimed The Londoner, believed to be in the Adjutant General Corps, is now being treated as an "investigado" under Spanish law, which literally means under investigation. An official court source said: "A duty judge last night remanded the young women in prison. She is initially being investigated on suspicion of an alleged crime of wounding with a dangerous weapon." However, well-placed sources say a decision about an eventual prosecution could depend on whether Scottish-born victim Sarah Ann Garrity, who is in the Royal Logistics Corps, decides to make a formal complaint against her close friend. It comes as witness Charlie Martin, 24, told The Sun Online he saw the two women arguing at the bar and tried to calm things down after one got a bloody nose. 'THE RED MIST JUST DESCENDED' Martin, from Portishead, said: "It was a real shock and I immediately stepped in between them and said: 'Come on, come on, there's no need for that' when suddenly 'bang' the other smaller girl smacked her on the shoulder blade with her beer bottle. "It was a really nasty hit and the red mist just descended." Holdaymaker Alice Gascoigne, 18, from Coventry, told The Sun Online: "Everyone was screaming, there was so much blood. She came out the club and she was holding her neck and she had a white top on and it was literally covered in red. Then she passed out and had a fit."

Pakistani kebab shop worker Suleiman was working next door when the victim collapsed outside his restaurant. He said: "I couldn't look it was so horrible. It was horrific. There was blood everywhere. "I could hardly bring myself to look. It was a huge gash, and quite a hole that wouldn't stop bleeding. "There was piles of blood on the pavement and a group of around 80 or more people around her when the ambulance turned up." Another eyewitness said: “It was a very deep cut. There was a lot of blood. She tried to get up but collapsed.” DRAGGED BEFORE A JUDGE Cole was flanked by two armed Civil Guards as she walked into a court building in the Majorcan capital Palma today to be questioned by a judge. The hearing this afternoon was taking place behind closed doors. The judge will have to decide whether to remand her in custody or release her on bail. Cole said nothing as she was escorted into court with her head bowed in handcuffs and wearing blue jean shorts and a white jean top. Garrity, born in Glasgow but now living in Middlesborough, is in intensive care in Palma’s Son Espases Hospital where her condition is now believed to be stable. Barbara Nield, from Lancashire, whose 23-year-old soldier daughter Bethany Bancroft was engaged to the injured woman until recently, said: "Bethany is so upset because of what has happened to Sarah. They are not together now but they were very close." Bethany’s brother Ashley Nield, 29, described Sarah as "bright, witty, funny and caring". 17 Charlie Martin said he witnessed the bloody assault Credit: Olive Press Spain 17 Kebab shop worker Suleiman, pictured, said the scene was 'horrific' Credit: Olive Press Spain Sarah was treated at the scene of the incident - Bananas nightclub at the top of the Magaluf strip - around 1am yesterday morning after losing a large amount of blood when her throat was cut with the glass before being rushed to hospital.
