The man was allegedly attacked with a pool cue while naked during a boozy night out in the town. Last week the Otago Daily Times reported the incident involved two South Otago clubs, Clutha Rugby Club and Clutha Valley Rugby Club. A source told the ODT a Clutha Valley player who was at a venue with several club members stripped off in response to a "club song" being played in the bar. He said the alleged perpetrator, who had been dining with friends, took exception to the public nudity before matters escalated. The assault was carried out using a pool cue, leading to serious abdominal bleeding, hospitalisation and surgery for the Clutha Valley man.
