At Good Life Festival in Perth over the weekend, a security guard ended up hospitalised after a vicious assault by two men.
It’s alleged that the altercation was related to one or both of the men jumping over the fence, in an attempt to gain entry into the festival.
“The safety of Good Life attendees and staff is our highest priority. Promoters do not condone violence of any kind, and take these issues extremely seriously.Following the incident on site, the security guard in question was immediately attended to by medical teams and taken to hospital by an on-site ambulance for assessment. He was discharged a few hours later. Good Life promoters will continue to monitor his well-being.The incident is being investigated by the Police.
Good Life works months in advance of each city to put detailed security and contingency plans in place, working carefully with stakeholders to ensure the safety of our patrons.”
The names of the two men who assaulted the guard remain unconfirmed, but commenters on the original video post have speculated on who the men are.
The smartphone video, which shows a man wrestling the guard on the ground before another man runs up and brutally kicks him in the head, currently has over 130,000+ views.
