O’Brien added that the pub’s bouncer had “tried to calm him down” and denied the bouncer hit Jackson. The bouncer appears to be talking to Jackson while a man comes from the side and punches him in the head. He told Weekend Witness that he was in Pietermaritzburg to look after his mother who was recovering from surgery, when the incident happened. Jackson said at that stage, there were three people attacking him: the bouncer, a patron and another man. Provincial police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele confirmed that a case of assault with an intent to cause grievous bodily harm was opened by Jackson at the Hilton Police Station for investigation.
