A GoFundMe fundraising page has been launched for Geraldton father Brodie Stokes, who is reported to be fighting for his life in an intensive care unit after an alleged assault. According to reports, Stokes has undergone surgery to remove part of his skull to help relieve pressure on his brain, and he remains in ICU. Local accounts described an altercation that allegedly began after a car was driven “hooning” up and down the street. Residents say Stokes went outside to ask the driver to stop, after which the incident escalated and led to injuries severe enough to require hospital treatment and surgery. The available reporting centers on Stokes’ medical condition and the circumstances residents believe contributed to the confrontation, but it does not provide further verified details about the alleged assault or any charges. The fundraising page is intended to help with costs related to his recovery.
