A man celebrating his fiftieth birthday last night was subject to repeated injuries during a pub fracas. A friendly quarrel turned sour when the man cracked his head on a nearby pool table. His heart stopped after more injuries were incurred from the crowd.
A local managed to resuscitate the man, who was later flown out by naval helicopter around 10:40 pm, and taken to Treliske Hospital. His condition is said to be stable.
The man, a local of a few years, has had legal problems in the past after domestic feuds.
This behaviour will be a worry to the police as tonight we celebrate the new year.
