Sam Durning, a local bartender in his early 30s, has taken to social media to warn others after he woke up the next day to discover a bruised needle-like puncture in his arm.
"I don’t remember anything of that night, all I know is I woke up with a black eye, a messed-up hand and a swollen head”, he told his local Facebook group, Look Out Lytham.
"Turns out I was spiked by a needle,” he added, sharing a picture of the mark on his arm. “And I’m a pretty big lad, so if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone."
