Supermarket worker revived after brutal beating at pub

A man had to be revived after suffering a brutal beating at a pub.

Etienne Bailey sustained numerous facial injuries after being attacked at the William Harvey in Church Road, Willesborough, last Thursday.

Two men set upon the 51-yearold at about 7.55pm, with the victim allegedly being “hit several times over the head with fire extinguishers knocking him unconscious”.

A fundraiser set up to help pay his bills and rent has raised more than £2,000.

A post on the page added the men “continued the attack until other people intervened and the offenders fled the scene”.

The victim had to be resuscitated due to his injuries after being transferred from the Church Road pub to the William Harvey Hospital.

Mr Bailey - known as Tiny to his friends - couldn’t breathe through his nose due to bleeding and a split mouth meant he could only drink.

It’s believed his head is fractured, and scans have been sent for analysis.

His eyes are still too swollen to open days after the attack.

The victim, a popular face at the supermarket he works in, is expected to be unable to work for at least four weeks and the fundraiser is hoping to alleviate the financial issues that would entail.

So far almost £2,500 has been raised by the GoFundMe campaign, which has already been shared more than 2,000 times.

■ Police are now appealing for information relating to the assault. Anyone with information should call the appeal line on 01843 222289, quoting reference 46/157567/19.
