Theres video of the guy still in the same place on the floor wrapped in foil. This was followed by him being carted off in a neck brace on a stretcher so it’s fair to say that punch did a fair bit of damage. The fact he was hospitalised means it’s probably going to be taken a bit more seriously by the police. Heard a few rumours he spent the night in a cell but unsure how true that is. Doesn’t look great for Blackman at this point.Suspect that much will depend on the health of the guy who was decked. Whatever the context, if the guy needed treatment at the RD&E or is still there, then I'd imagine the Police would get involved. If he woke up and took himself home, and doesn't want to take it further then will probably all blow over.
This explainer looks reasonably helpful - at worst it could be "single-blow GBH".
