*Fictional Story*
To the horror of witnesses, a man was beaten to within inches of his life before being rushed to hospital. In an act of violence taking only seconds, 3 or 4 men are reported to have launched an apparent unprovoked attack on another man in an inner city bar. He was pulled to the ground and punched about the face and torso. His face was bloodied quickly under the onslaught, and his clothes ripped about his body, and as quickly as the attack had started, it was over, the men fleeing into the night before security staff could arrive at the attack.
Ambulance officers were able to stabilize the man before taking him to emergency. Police are continuing the investigation, starting with a review of the security footage.
