A BRITISH father and son have been arrested for attacking each other in their Valencia flat with a knife and a paintball gun.
Police were called out by neighbours who heard shouting and banging inside the apartment in the Russafa neighbourhood of the city, and found a 30-year-old man and his father, 58, embroiled in a fight.
The father told officers that his son had shot him in the eye with a paintball gun, and had a severe bruise there to prove it.
But he omitted to tell them that he had also attacked the younger man.
The son described how his father pushed him to the floor and threatened him with a carving knife, and that he had retaliated by shooting him with a pistol.
Both men, who live together in the Valencia flat, were injured, police say.
They have both been arrested and charged with actual bodily harm.
