EPILEPTIC Tony Cartlidge was left with a fractured skull after yobs attacked him with a brick in an attempt to trigger a fit, he believes.
Now the 23-year-old claims the incident in Northwood Park has left him fearful of leaving his house.
Prior to the vicious attack Tony says he has been taunted by a group he claims have launched a nasty bullying campaign against him because of his condition.
And following the traumatic incident Tony also claims to have been chased by a man wielding a machete.
Police have confirmed one 48-year-old man was arrested following the ordeal on suspicion of affray. He has since been bailed.
Unemployed Tony, of Eastbourne Road in Northwood, says he was left in agony after the brick was allegedly hurled over a fence by a teenager.
He said: "I felt something hit my head and when I looked down a brick was on the floor.
"There was blood all over me. They want me to have a fit."
Tony, who lives with his mother, claims yobs are determined to make him suffer an epileptic fit after learning of the consequences. I'm constantly getting called a 'smackhead' because I shake on the floor when I have a fit," he said.
