Alan Willson Beaten By His Son
A care home worker was beaten to a pulp by a group of thugs after he stepped in to save his 11-year-old son from teenage bullies in the park.
Willson sprinted from his home in Worthing, West Sussex, to nearby Longcroft Park when he heard a group throw his son to the floor on Easter Sunday.
But when he tried to intervene, he was knocked unconscious – before his head was hit with an object as his horrified son watched.

He is now in a coma fighting for his life.
Alan was pounced upon at 7.30 pm on Easter Sunday at Longcroft Park in Worthing, West Sussex.

Willson’s Wife Statement
Sharing online a harrowing picture, too graphic for a family newspaper, devastated wife Annie, 49, wrote: “So this is what you have done to my husband — hitting him and keep hitting him until he was down and unconscious.
“He is fighting for his life after brain surgery for multiple bleeds on the brain.
“He is the kindest and gentleman in the world. My 11-year-old son, you have also given mental trauma.
“A father coming to rescue his son because you started physically hurting him and throwing him on the ground.”
Suspect Arrested
Four youths were arrested later that evening on suspicion of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm with intent. A fifth boy was arrested on Monday, accused of the same offenses.
But locals told of their anger after all five were bailed despite “strict conditions”, including curfews and not meeting each other.
