A father-of-three is 'fighting for his life' in a coma after being punched at a bar following his own stag do at the Grand National. Lee Burns, 41, was celebrating with friends at Aintree Racecourse on Saturday, April 15 before having a night out.
The dad, who was out in Poulton, Lancashire, was assaulted and was knocked unconscious outside a bar at around 1.25am on Sunday, and suffered a head injury, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The HGV driver from Blackpool was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery that took three hours and is now in an induced coma at Royal Preston Hospital. His family, including fiancé Sara, have been at his bedside.
