Newspaper Correio da Manhã reports that the trio – aged 21, 25 and 27 – caught the taxi in Albufeira at around 5am on Sunday morning.
They are then reported have started spitting on the seats and punching the windows and even tried to attack the driver.
The assailants were detained by GNR officers and estimated to have caused around €6,000 in damage to the car.
Lets hope they dont just get a slapped wrist like they would in England. That is the kind of Brits that get the rest of us living here in Portugal a bad name. Sorry to be associated with them.

Hopefully they will be banned from ever returning to Portugal. Makes me ashamed to be British.
