Man Who Had Half His Skull Punched Off

Man Who Had Half His Skull Punched Off thumbnail

26 year old Steve Gator was beaten so badly by a pair of teenage thugs in Essex that half his head had to be removed.

Gator was on his way home from work in January this year when he was confronted by two jeering buffoons. When Gator retaliated the two hoodlums began raining blows on him, he was bashed so ferociously he fell and smashed his brainball on the pavement.

Gator was rushed to hospital and spent two weeks in a coma, during this time his brain swelled so much that doctors were forced to remove the front of Gator’s skull to relieve the pressure. Gator is now permanently disfigured and suffers from brain damage, he has seizures, difficulty talking and memory loss. At the moment Gator has no skull in his forehead and his brain is only protected by a layer of skin.

Our boy is walking around with half a head - what more evidence do they need?
“There’s absolutely nothing protecting his brain now – it’s just under his skin. We’re waiting for surgery for a new skull plate to be put in.” Gator’s mother told Sky News.

Now to add insult to injury Gator has been told that the two thugs which smashed his head in are to escape justice. The Crown Prosecution Service has dropped the case due to lack of evidence.

“Our boy is walking around with half a head – what more evidence do they need?” Mrs Gator fumed.
