Facial injury was extremely common; 89 per cent of fractures, 70 per cent of wounds and 56 per cent of haematomas affected the face. Only 32 per cent of patients were assaulted within their home ward (13 per cent at home) and most assaults took place in the city centre on Fridays and Saturdays, between 11p.m. and 1a.m. and in or near public houses and clubs or in the street. Only 29 per cent of assaults were claimed to be unprovoked. Alcohol intake immediately preceding injury was reported by 73 per cent of victims (range 1–34 units) and blood ethanol levels corresponded with this intake.
