Gazza hurt in hotel fracas

THE former England footballer Paul Gascoigne was involved in a fracas at a London hotel, several witnesses said, and taken to hospital after sustaining a head injury.

The Metropolitan Police said officers were called to a disturbance at London’s Ace Hotel in Shoreditch on Tuesday night before a 49-year-old man was taken to hospital. A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: “The man has been taken to an east London hospital where he remains in a stable condition.” Witness Alvin Carpio said Gascoigne, who has faced a long struggle with alcoholism, was kicked down the stairs after an altercation with another guest. Gascoigne’s spokesman, Terry Baker confirmed to the Daily Mirror that Gascoigne was treated in hospital for a head wound. Mr Baker added: “He hasn’t been arrested. He’s about to be released and sent home.”
