But Beer put his life in danger for me, he is super hero.<br /><br /> ''The man was much younger and stronger than me but I fought back.<br /><br />‘’Beer ran into street to help me. We were like a tag team. He injured me but we won because the man ran away.’'<br /><br />Police checked CCTV and identified the attacker who admitted being high on drink and drugs when he attacked the man.
