In a shocking event, New Zealand cricketer Jesse Ryder was brutally attacked twice and severely beaten up as he left a bar in Christchurch. He is in critical condition and is now fighting for his life in hospital. Jesse is in an induced coma with a fractured skull and serious internal injuries.
Police said that - after a quiet "few drinks'' with Wellington Firebirds teammates last night, he went to leave Aikman's Bar, in Merivale, at around 12.30 am. On the footpath outside Aikman's, an altercation has taken place involving Jesse and a group of at least two other males. The altercation was brief. Ryder then crossed the road to a nearby fast-food outlet where he was viciously assaulted by one of the people from the initial confrontation.
Jesse has a history of alcohol associated incidents. But the police said it is doubtful that alcohol had to do anything with the shocking assault.
The attack came just days before he had to sign a contract for Indian Premier League (IPL).
