Mick Wessex, a dwarf paranormal investigator who has appeared on TV’s Most Haunted, and in the promotional video for a Jonathan Wilkes pop song, faces having to use a wheelchair after a stranger picked him up outside gambling venue The Ca$hino at Festival Park and threw him on to the pavement during a night out. Mr Wessex believes his attacker, who has not been tracked down by police, may have got the idea from celebrities on TV.
"An incident like this was just waiting to happen," he said. "People see stars like Tindall or Gervais treating 'our lot' badly and they think that it is acceptable. I believe that could have been why it happened to me – the bloke probably thought it was really funny. Ricky Gervais, the England rugby team and the royal family should be made to apologise for what they have done. I think until someone steps out and says 'this is not acceptable’, all dwarves are under threat."

Mike Tindall, the England centre and husband of Zara Phillips, was alleged to have attended a dwarf tossing contest, called the "Mad Midget Weekender", with team-mates at a bar in New Zealand. Gervais meanwhile, has caused controversy for his portrayal of dwarves in 'Life's Too Short' and 'The Office'.
Police have appealed for help in tracing the attacker, described as around 5ft 8in, slim build with dark hair and wearing a Global Hypercolour t-shirt and sombrero. Wessex said he had gone outside to score some drugs when the attack happened.
