Bangor: So, there was this really shocking incident outside a nightclub. A guy named Samuel Lock got attacked and ended up in the hospital. It was pretty serious—he hit his head hard after being punched and had a bleed on the brain. Ouch!
The attacker, Lewis Revilles, who’s just 20, thought he could hide out in his grandparents’ attic after the whole thing went down. But the police found him there and arrested him. Talk about a bad hiding spot!
In court, they said Revilles tried to step in and calm things down before it all escalated. But after some pushing and shoving, he threw a punch that changed everything. Samuel fell back and got hurt really badly.
Doctors found bleeding in Samuel’s brain, and he had to be moved to another hospital for more treatment. He’s been dealing with a lot since then—pain, headaches, and even hearing loss in one ear. He lost a chunk of money because he couldn’t work, and he felt unsafe in Bangor after the attack.
Samuel even had to give up his driving license and started taking taxis to get around. His mental health took a hit too, and he ended up needing psychiatric help. It’s just heartbreaking to see how one moment can change everything for someone.
Revilles’ lawyer said he got involved to help at first, but things spiraled out of control. The judge wasn’t too lenient, giving him an 18-month suspended sentence and some community service. Plus, he’s got to wear an electronic tag and can’t contact Samuel for five months. It’s a tough lesson learned, but it’s a reminder of how serious these situations can get.
