Frank Bruno Taken
to Mental Hospital

FORMER heavyweight boxing champion Frank Bruno is receiving treatment at a mental hospital after being taken from his home by medics.

A police source said officers had assisted in removing the father-of-three from his home near Brentwood, Essex, under the terms of mental health legislation.

He was transferred into the care of a local mental health NHS trust.

Essex Police would only say: "We have been assisting ambulance crews to remove a patient from an address near Brentwood.''

But the source added: "The patient is Frank Bruno. It is my understanding that he has been sectioned.''

He said Bruno, 41, was believed to have been taken to a London hospital.

Witnesses said Bruno was driven away from his home shortly before 7pm. It is believed that police and medics had been at the address for some hours.

Bruno has gone through a painful and costly divorce from wife Laura.

In a radio interview in early August, he launched an attack on the "mugs'' and "creeps'' he believed were trying to portray him in the same light as Mike Tyson.

He said then: "I've had a lot of people in my house, a lot of mugs and a lot of creeps, but I've had a lot of good people and I'll stick with the good people I know.

"It's jealousy and power and money. They're trying to turn me into the English Mike Tyson, but I'm not the English Mike Tyson, I'm the English Frank Bruno I always was.''

He added: "I'm a prisoner in my own home. Just let me chill in my own home.''

Bruno, who lifted the WBC crown when he out-pointed Oliver McCall at Wembley Stadium in September 1995, has spoken recently of making a boxing comeback despite an eye injury which appeared to have ended his career.

Joking apart this is a tragedy as the guy clearly may have needed some medical help for quite a while.

I really do hope he makes a full recovery.

Frank's built like no one you ever saw, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't do a 'Chief' from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and rip out the sink lob it through the window and leg it out of the hospital. Seriously though, sad for his daughters etc.

Totally agree. He may not have been the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time but he was a decent bloke. C'mon Frank.

Sad that anyone can laugh at this. I feel sad for Frank and I hope he is better soon.
