Man suffers Whiplash in Portable Loo Incident
A man suffered minor whiplash injuries after an incident involving a portable loo.
The man was attending the Hunstanton Lifestyles festival over the Diamond Jubilee holiday weekend. The festival included live music along with demonstrations of extreme sports such as kitesurfing and BMX skills.
The injured man was staying at the campsite setup especially for the event, and paid a visit to the site’s toilets in the early hours of the Saturday morning.
Whilst the man was in the portable toilet cubicle it was pushed to the ground. The toilet landed with the door facing the ground and the man was trapped inside.
The Eastern Daily Press is reporting that the man suffered injuries in the incident, including minor whiplash type symptoms and damage to his shoulder.
Police in the area are appealing for any witnesses or information relating to the incident to come forward. Anyone with information should contact Hunstanton police station or alternatively contact the police anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
It is unclear if the injuries the man received in the assault are severe enough to warrant compensation under the CICA scheme that is designed to compensate those innocently injured in a criminal act.
