It’s always worth remembering that the media does, sometimes, embellish the truth!

sd: Obviously, as you were watching a welsh-language channel - you may not have really understood what was happening - so here's what it was about.

Going back to Paulears' original post, I think the key words in the article are the last ones - 'according to a police report'.   I wonder what really happened to him?   icon_scratch

If you go to the link I posted from the "Snopes" website - and scroll down - the main story is quoted - as is the paragraph about the "injuries" - this did not appear originally but was apparently added sometime later.  There's also one or two "variations on a theme".
