Police Investigate Alleged Assault At Springsteen Concert

BY IAN CROUCH

Police are now investigating an incident at the Bruce Springsteen concert at Pokolbin at the weekend where a man was allegedly assaulted by another patron.

As we reported yesterday, Don Elphick from Wagga Wagga was with his wife at the event when he told a man standing nearby who appeared to be intoxicated to stop using bad language.

Footage has now emerged of the man grabbing Mr Elphick by the throat and wrestling him to the ground and punching him in the head.

Mr Elphick was taken to Maitland Hospital and treated for concussion.

The security company in charge of the incident is also investigating claims a security guard failed to help and turned and ran away.
