A trailblazing Australian Rules star who was the first Sudanese to play the game was stable in hospital Wednesday after a mystery fall from a bridge in Melbourne. Majak Daw sustained “very serious injuries” to his hips and pelvis and will undergo surgery in the next few days, his club North Melbourne said. “Our primary concern, of course, is his mental and physical health and wellbeing, and also the wellbeing of his family, friends, teammates, coaches and the staff at the club,” said North Melbourne.
Daw, who fled to Australia with his family from civil war-torn Sudan in 2003, has been one of the feel-good stories in Australian sport in recent years.
