The man who last week was taken to a Johannesburg hospital with a vuvuzela sticking out of his arse, has been said by doctors to be 'out of danger', but may never walk again, it's been reported.
The South African man had the instrument shoved up his rectum by marauding Uruguayan fans who were out celebrating after their 3-0 demolition of the host nation. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Police have released details of the men they are looking for in connexion with the vicious and unprovoked attack. They are a group of about 30 drunken Uruguayans.
Doctors at the hospital where the injured man is receiving treatment say the vuvuzela may remain up the man's arse for quite some time, and they won't be able to tell whether or not he can walk again until he is 'free of the horn'.
One of the medics at the hospital said:
"Ouch!"
