SONS AT SCENE OF 'ATTACK' THAT LEFT DAD IN COMA

Brothers insist incident does not define ‘incredibly supportive’ Irish

- JOHN HAND

THE sons of US tourist Stephen Termini have visited the scene where their father was viciously beaten.

Mike and Jesse Rizzuto went to the site on Talbot Street in Dublin's north inner city on Saturday, where he suffered severe injuries in an alleged attack on July 19.

It emerged on Friday that New Yorker Mr Termini has come out of a coma and his condition is improving.

His son Mike insisted the incident, which has caused outrage, does not define Irish people.

He said: "My brother and I stood where our father was attacked. It's a very heavy spot, but it'll take more than that to keep us down.
