A 25-year-old man is recovering in a Regina hospital after an apparently unprovoked attack where he was hit in the head with a toilet tank lid in a nightclub washroom, according to his mother.
CTV News has agreed not to use the mother's name or the name of the assault victim due to safety concerns.
When her son tumbled bleeding from the washroom at Gabbo's, the response of many patrons was to hold up their phones to presumably take photos and videos, according to his mother.
One woman rushed over to help stop the bleeding from a gaping wound in his neck when someone affiliated with Gabbo’s began "slapping" the raised phones down, the man's mother said.
Despite all the phones at the ready, she says it was her son who ultimately managed to call 911 for help.
The assault happened just before 3 a.m. Saturday, according to police.The man's mother said the attack was sudden and unprovoked.
