Fire chiefs and police probe incident as man allegedly attacked by firefighter

Fire chiefs and police are investigating after a man claims he was pelted with traffic cones by a ''drunk'' crew member - and then pepper sprayed by ''bungling'' cops. The victim needed hospital treatment for head wounds after a mob threw the cones at him when he confronted them outside his home.

When Graham Crees tried to stop the commotion, he was attacked with multiple cones smashing into his face. And he was injured further when cops arrived and considered him to be 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. While recovering from his injuries, he took on the role of private detective and claims he identified at least one of his alleged attackers as being a firefighter for Avon Fire and Rescue.
