Daniel Paton, 37, was battered with a pool cue in the Portree Ward at Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow in April.
He suffered a broken nose and two black eyes after the violent incident at the unit, where he is currently receiving psychiatric care.His dad, Daniel Galbraith, 55, has now hit out at the facility, claiming that only one member of staff was supervising the room when the attack took place and that it could have been prevented.
Daniel Snr, from Glasgow, told the Record: "The attack was completely unprovoked. But they were standing there with pool cues in their hands and there was only one person about to look after them.
