Wedding DJ facing jail after filming himself urinating on elderly cancer patient
A popular DJ is facing jail time after he filmed himself urinating on a pensioner at a social club and then uploaded the video on social media.
Leigh Brookfield, 40, pleaded guilty to common assault after the sickening incident which took place at the urinals in Llanelli Tennis and Squash Club in Wales on Boxing Day. He has since been charged with the assault and said he was "absolutely paralytically drunk" when the incident took place at around 8 pm.
The outrageous clip, which he posted on Snapchat, shows the elderly man standing next to him and talking about his severe health problems. Brookfield could be heard as he replied, "Sorry to hear that bud" whilst urinating on the man.
The footage has since sparked backlash after it was widely shared on Facebook. The DJ, who has been a regular at Llanelli venues for around 15 years, has since apologised for his behaviour in a post on the site and said he was "deeply sorry".
