ATHENS (BNO NEWS) -- A British tourist was killed on the Greek island of Zakynthos following a fight with two local taxi drivers, the Kathimerini newspaper reported on Wednesday.

According to sources, four friends of the 19-year-old were hospitalized following the brawl in the resort town of Laganas, which had a notorious reputation in the past. One of the injured had to undergo surgery after being stabbed in the chest and neck.

Sources said the fight broke out after the taxi drivers objected to being repeatedly targeted by laser pens, but this was not confirmed. Other reports suggested that an argument may have broken out over a disputed fare.

The two taxi drivers were arrested.

Laganas is a popular resort with tourists from the United Kingdom, who often cause trouble.
