A student needs facial reconstruction surgery after being attacked at Parklife. Relatives of the 20-year-old man, who wishes to stay anonymous, say he was punched to the ground and had his head stamped on.
The Surrey University student was left unconscious with a fractured face after being attacked during 50 Cent’s headline performance. Violence erupted after a group of about six men made a female friend in the victim’s group ‘uncomfortable’.
His family has also claimed that traffic gridlock around the site meant an ambulance could not take him to hospital on Saturday night. That meant the man’s friends had to search ‘for hours’ to find a taxi that could take him to be seen.
