Bristol man attacked by mob outside his home including 'fireman'

A man claims he was pelted with traffic cones by a ''drunk firefighter' - and then pepper-sprayed by ''bungling'' cops. Graham Crees was taken to hospital with head wounds following a mob throwing cones at him after he confronted them outside his home in Bristol.

The incident, which was captured on CCTV, shows revellers initially fooling around with the cones near Bristol's harbour. But when Graham confronted them about their behaviour, he was attacked with multiple cones smashing into his face.

And he was injured further when cops arrived and considered him the aggressor and forcibly arrested him with use of a spray. After a night in cells, Graham was released with no further action with cops accepting mobile phone footage corroborated his version of events.
