A 70-year-old man was beaten up by a pub landlord and ex-army commando in a dispute over ‘smelly bins’. Simon Procter was left needing 20 stitches after Daniel Winward attacked him outside his home.
Simon, who has cancer, said that doctors thought he’d been in a car accident after the incident in Morecambe. The assault happened after the 70-year-old had complained to the council that Winward, 44, left bins from his pub, The Morecambe Hotel, on his street for three days.
When Mr Proctor’s wife Tarni, 56, tried to stop the assault by telling Winward her husband had cancer, the former soldier callously replied: "He's going to die anyway." Simon said after Winward had launched the "unprovoked" attack he then trashed his home, causing £1,000 worth of damage and leaving blood all over his walls, the Mirror reports.
