Dean Morrison was hit over the head with a bottle by a man he did not know in Coolangatta on Sunday night (July 4, 2010) while having a night out with friends at a Griffith Street Hotel, according to a story on Goldcoast.com.au. The Courier Mail reported it as The Sands Hotel.
Morrison could not be contacted yesterday but the Coolangatta surfer’s longtime mentor Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew confirmed the incident. . . Bartholomew last night said the recently married 29-year-old was shaken by the incident and lucky not to have been killed. . . “He had gone out in his home town to have a few beers with his mates, which you should be able to do,” said Bartholomew. . . “He was just sitting down and some guy came along and nailed him in the skull with a bottle. . . “It knocked him out and he hit the ground on his head. I think what saved him was the fact that he was sitting down.
Morrison was taken to the hospital with “a broken cheekbone and numerous facial gashes.” A 20-year-old man from Nunderi has been charged and will appear in court on July 26. We hope the Dingo recovers quickly and that the man is prosecuted to the full extent.
