Nibor Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 If, as reports suggest, the victim was attacked with glass bottles, the likely charge would be GBH with intent under section 18 of the Offences against the person act which carries a maximum life sentence.

RedLionLad Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 The story as reported on Thisisbristol.... Bristol Rovers midfielder David Pipe has been arrested on suspicion of bottling a man and fracturing his skull. The 25-year-old was taken in for questioning following and incident on Park Street in Clifton in the early hours of Wednesday. Police were called at about 4am to a fight outside a Spar shop and Antix bar. The victim, a 29-year-old man, was taken to Frenchay Hospital with a fractured skull. He remains in a serious condition, but his injuries are not thought to be life threatening. Police confirmed that a 25-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of assault, causing grievous bodily harm. He was bailed on Wednesday evening to reappear at a police station on September 28. No one else was arrested in connection with the incident, and police are now waiting to interview the victim.

RedLionLad Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 This section has now been removed from the original article for some reason........ He has been known to the police before. Pipe was arrested in February last year on suspicion of assaulting a Bristol City fan in a nightclub. He was then alleged to have attacked a City fan during an altercation at Java nightclub on Park Street, where Rovers players and their partners had gone after the club Valentine's Ball at the Royal Marriott Hotel. Despite his arrest he never faced charges over the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Kirsty Pugh is Rovers's press officer and wasn't there a Kirsty Pugh, "journalist" who wrote all those pro stadium articles on Horfield, are they by any chance related? Why would anyone ever think the "newspaper" has a bias to Rovers, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
