A GoFundMe has been set for a Wexford man after a one-punch attack in Australia.He was knocked to the ground because of one punch to the side of the head by a young Australian man.
41-year-old Frank Staples is receiving treatment in Intensive Care after the attack outside a restaurant in Perth 2 weeks ago. Frank arrived in Australia in April this year and has been working in Sydney since. He arrived in Perth just a week before the incident.
Frank sustained a brain hemorrhage as a result of the attack and remains in ICU in Perth. He has woken up but is being sedated for his safety. Currently, he has a section of his skull removed due to swelling in his brain. He’s made some progress so he’s been able to be taken off the ventilator and now has a tracheostomy tube in.
The Go Fund me has been set up by Frank’s younger sister Sarah and the target is to reach 100,000 Australian Dollars to focus on Frank’s recovery.
