Danielle Lloyd 'lucky to avoid paralysis'

Danielle Lloyd was lucky not to end up paralysed after an altercation in a nightclub at the weekend, it has been claimed.

The model was allegedly attacked by two women at the Crystal venue on Sunday night.

Elliot Sorene, a consultant in trauma and orthopaedic surgery, said: "I treated Miss Lloyd on Monday for a deep laceration to her left calf.

"Whilst the whole experience for Miss Lloyd was exceptionally unfortunate, she is very lucky that the major blood vessels and arteries were not involved, otherwise she would have been left permanently paralysed."

A spokesman for Lloyd told The Sun: "She was approached by two girls and attacked. It's my understanding one of the girls fell on top of Danielle and she landed on a glass table.

"Bottles smashed under Danielle and she was badly hurt."
