THE VICTIM of a brutal attack gave a talk to pupils in years 10 to 13 at Llanidloes High School on the subject of the effects of violent crime.

Paul Pugh was attacked by a number of drunken men and left in a coma for two months.

The attack was random and unprovoked and left Mr Pugh with significant brain injury.

It is his great hope that by sharing his experience of what happened to him and how he has rebuilt his life, his story will serve as both warning and inspiration.
