Background
Home City story here
TVNZ story here
As a result of the attack Mr Downie was hospitalised for five days and sustained fractures to the right cheekbone, a fracture to the left cheekbone, a fracture to the right maxilla at the nasal aperture level, a fracture of the midline of the palate, swelling and bruising of the face, and a minimally displaced fracture of the mandible at the left-condylar region. He required surgery. His fractures were reduced and joined with four titanium plates and 30 or 40 screws implanted in his mouth. Arch-bars were attached to his upper and lower teeth to keep his mouth closed with elastic bands during a six week healing period. During that time he was restricted to drinking from a straw or eating a pureed diet.
