A 21-year-old man is allegedly assaulted on Wind street at 2 am on a Saturday morning. He sustains a single punch to the nose with no loss of consciousness. He suffers an initial epistaxis from both nostrils that lasts around 20 minutes and then stops with first aid.

 

The next morning after sobering up he is concerned with his appearance and new blocked sensation inside his nose.
