Patrick Lyttle (above with friend) has been discharged from an Australian hospital, a month after he was left critically ill when allegedly punched by his brother.
The Antrim-man, 31, fell and hit his head in Sydney on 3 January.
He was on life support at St Vincent’s Hospital for almost a week before regaining consciousness.
His 33-year-old brother Barry is charged with assault causing grievous bodily harm. He has been released on bail.

Brothers fight, this just took a bad turn. Hope they all make up and live happy ever after.
Ahhhhh go on the fighting Irish… sure us Irish always fight each other… ESPECIALLY when drinking HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAH.
Here to takeover baby!
PS- Delighted to see he’s been discharged.
They’ll have a good dhrink tonight and the craic will be set.
Great news! :)
Delighted to hear that. Good luck to them both.
Oh so thankful that this is how it’s turned out. Best of luck to the family.
Can’t believe the amount of attention this got. It’s happening virtually every day of the week somewhere in this country and probably every day if you’re a traveller.
“probably every day if you’re a traveller”
Wow, nice bit of casual racism there….
Nice use of the word Wow.
why is this news
It’s national news in Australia due to the proliferation of the so-called ‘cowards punch’ and legislative attempts to stop people killing each other while drunk.
Delighted it’s turned out ok, and that his brother was under the blood alcohol reading that would have meant a lengthy mandatory sentence.
