Man in coma after nightclub brawl
A man who was struck on the head at a nightclub is still in coma.
A man is in a coma after he was struck on the head during a brawl at a popular nightclub in Pretoria East at the weekend.
Police spokesperson Captain Colette Weilbach said a docket of grievous bodily harm was opened at the Brooklyn police station on Monday morning after a 24-year-old man was struck on his head at a nightclub in Hillside Street, Lynnwood.
Weilbach said the man’s family and an eyewitness laid a charge at the station on Tuesday afternoon.
“The eyewitness claimed an argument between the 24-year-old and another unidentified man took place around 03:00 on Saturday.”
She said the unidentified man struck the 24-year old, who fell and remained unconscious.
“The victim was taken away in an ambulance,” she said.
A family member who asked not to be named could only confirm the 24-year-old was still in a coma by Tuesday and said the family wanted to keep the matter, including the man’s identity, private.
