A man beaten on the head with a piece of wood containing protruding nails is in serious but stable condition at Mount St John’s Medical Centre – despite suffering puncture wounds that reportedly reached his brain.

A Gray’s Farm family is claiming negligence on the part of the Mount St John’s Medical Centre in the death of four- year old Jordan “AJ” Anthony who died days after being admitted to hospital.

Three-year-old Jordan “AJ” Anthony is now conscious and alert and seemingly on the road to a full recovery from the accident at King George V Ground last week which left him with a puncture wound on the left side of his head.
