WATCH: Ex-Cheetahs player head-butts woman in bar

A 39-year-old woman was left with a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain after being head-butted at a bar counter by a former Free State rugby player.

The former player is caught on CCTV camera, but the footage has been blurred to hide his identity.

According to Netwerk24, the incident took place on April 8 in Bloemfontein.

According to the woman, the man spoke in a rude manner to a female bartender. She then told him his behaviour was not appropriate, before the man head-butted her.
