Glenn Lambourn 'bashed by Palmerston kids for smokes'

[SoulManX]

A MAN says he was was beaten to a pulp by a gang of more than 20 children - some as young as eight - because he had no cigarettes to give them.

Heavily bruised and suffering a fractured eye socket, broken jaw and shattered teeth, Glenn Lambourn was still shaken when talking to the Northern Territory News about the vicious attack.

"I thought I was going to die," he said. "They just kept smashing me over the head - I was on all fours and they surrounded me and kept laying the boot in flat out.

"They just did not stop - I felt my teeth go.

"All I could do was try and run but I kept falling."

Mr Lambourn, 35, said he was walking to catch a cab after drinking with friends at the Palmerston Tavern in Palmerston CBD when the attack happened on Sunday.

I was momentarily confused by the use of the man's name in the thread title. I was wondering if I should know who Glenn Lambourn is.

Seriously... This is a good reason to start smoking again. I would gladly trade cigs for not having to be attacked and mauled by 8 year olds.
