Answer

What kind of penalties can someone face for assaulting police in Mallorca?

Assaulting police officers in Mallorca can lead to a criminal case, a fine and a prison sentence, depending on the seriousness of the injury and the circumstances. If the injuries are minor and the accused admits guilt, the court may suspend the prison term under probation rules. That does not remove the conviction, but it can keep the person out of prison unless they offend again.
