banged

The family of a man who died after he repeatedly banged his head against a wall in a mental health suite said there was no "safety net" for people with their son's needs.

The woman, who lives across the street, rushed over in her dressing gown and banged on the door to get Tricia's attention.

Members of the crowd shouted "We won!" as one person banged a drum, AFP reported.

“Got it banged up a little bit. He’s tough. He pushes through and he should be good to go.”

Having banged on a closed door up front for some four minutes, eventually it was simply the sheer pace of Dyer that got them over.
