Barry Urban, a former Member of Parliament in Western Australia, is currently fighting for his life after reportedly being assaulted at his workplace in Perth's south-east. Witnesses claim they heard Urban engaged in a heated argument with a customer regarding a wheel alignment this morning at around 8am. The 55-year-old was then allegedly knocked to the ground at Tyre Brigade in Kelmscott.
Emergency services were quickly called to the scene and Urban was rushed to Royal Perth Hospital with critical injuries. Currently, he is undergoing emergency surgery in hopes of stabilizing his condition. This tragic incident comes after Urban's conviction in 2021 for lying about war medals that were not rightfully his and falsifying documents. This ultimately led to his imprisonment and resignation from the McGowan government.
Despite the controversy surrounding Urban's past actions, locals who are in shock over the news of his assault have nothing but kind words to say about him. Many describe him as the "nicest guy" and are saddened by the unfortunate turn of events. The community is rallying behind him and sending their well wishes for a speedy recovery.
Police are currently investigating the incident and have a 25-year-old man in custody who is assisting with their inquiries.
