A disabled man, who broke his nose and fractured his hand after falling out of his wheelchair in Belfast earlier this week, had to wait at the side of a road for over an hour before an ambulance arrived to treat his injuries. 30 year old Craig has cerebal palsy and relies on his motorised wheelchair to get around. But on Monday he took a tumble on the Shankill Road - leaving him bleeding and bruised with broken bones and deep cuts. He says his ordeal was made worst by the slow response of the ambulance service - and by the reaction of those who chose to walk on by... our reporter, Nicola Weir, went to visit him at his home in Glencairn.
