A 102-year-old man sustained critical injuries after an alleged incident on a stage at The Crow's Nest pub in Cwmbran, South Wales. The man, who lived independently and was a regular at the establishment, is currently receiving treatment in intensive care.
Witnesses reported that the centenarian had approached the stage to request that the live music be turned down. He was allegedly pushed, causing him to fall backward off the stage and sustain severe injuries. The Welsh Ambulance Service was called to the scene, and the man was transported to the Grange Hospital.
Following the incident, which occurred around 10:25 PM on August 1, police arrested a 56-year-old man from Llanelli on suspicion of assault. He has since been released under investigation as enquiries continue. Gwent Police are appealing for witnesses who were present in the pub between 10 PM and 11 PM on that Saturday night to come forward.
