A selfish lothario is being hunted by police after he fled when his lover fell down a well as they had sex.
He chose to run away rather than help 21-year-old Edelia Aponte when she plummeted 4.6m (15ft) into water during the tryst.
Half-naked Ms Aponte did not notice that a wooden covering over the well had become loose as she got down to business with the man who she had met earlier that night in the city of Ciudad Real in central Spain.
She was rescued after police received an anonymous phone call informing them that a woman had fallen into the well.
Fire fighters pulled the woman out and gave her a blanket to cover her lower half. She was then taken to hospital and treated for hypothermia.
‘It could have ended in tragedy,’ said fire service spokesman Leni Portillo. ‘Luckily, she could swim and she wasn’t knocked out as she fell.’
Police now want to speak to Ms Aponte’s companion, who could be charged with failing to give help to somebody in need of assistance.
