After the incident occurred, people who were around were afraid that Wayne had passed away on the sidewalk. A person who saw what happened spoke to The Sun and stated that it was a very unpleasant experience to witness. The attackers fled the scene after assaulting Wayne.
The teenager, who is 18 years old, shared with the media: "It was a terrible experience - at one moment, it seemed like Wayne had stopped breathing. He collapsed to the ground, and the group of men quickly dispersed. Wayne was out cold and unresponsive. When he finally regained consciousness, he was barely able to speak. I remained by his side to provide assistance, and the authorities arrived, albeit briefly - they didn't do anything significant and left soon after."
Wayne hasn't addressed the event openly. Yet, he decided to make a return to social media on Wednesday, June 12th, to greet his son Freddie on his 20th birthday in a humorous clip.
According to the Instagram post by waynelineker, Wayne was believed to have died following a severe blow.

He mentioned that his son had told him that he wanted to handle everything on his own and was appreciative of his dad's support. Wayne concluded by saying that he loves his son and wishes him all the best for his future endeavors.
