Oswestry pensioner still in hospital after assault
Thursday 12th May 2011, 11:21AM BST.
An Oswestry pensioner attacked as he slept at home is still in hospital more than a week after the assault.
Charles Green’s family say they are trying to keep the 87-year-old’s spirits up as he recovers.
Mr Green was attacked after waking to find raiders in his house at 2.45am last Monday.
He was left with bleeding on the brain, a double fracture to his left hip socket, a severely swollen and split ear and serious bruising to the back of his neck and his arms.
His son Terry Green said his father had been moved to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital from North Staff- ordshire Hospital in Stoke.
He said: “He’s still with us and he is talking. I think the hospital is more upbeat than him. He is aware of the reality of what happened. He is being looked after by his family.”
He said he was very grateful to all of the staff for the treatment his father was being given. Police inquir- ies are ongoing. Two men have been bailed in connection with the incident.
