A man has sustained spinal injuries in a serious assault on the Gold Coast.
It's alleged the man was in a verbal argument with a woman early on Saturday at Southport, when a second man intervened and assaulted the first man.
The 36-year-old fell to the ground and suffered a spinal injury which a police spokesperson said could leave him a paraplegic.
