The man was taken to Leeds General Infirmary suffering form a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain.
Police are appealing for witnesses, particularly a man named "Dave" who tended to the injured man until an ambulance arrived.

"But we are as happy as we can be that nothing suspicious has happened. It was just an accident.
"We are appealing for witnesses, particularly a regular at the pub called Dave who gave him assistance."
