A wedding DJ who allegedly filmed himself urinating on a cancer patient in a prank posted on Snapchat has been charged with assault.
Leigh Brookfield, 40, is set to appear in court after police received a string of complaints over the vile urine stunt.
Brookfield was standing next to the older gentleman in a men’s toilet as the man told him of his prostate problems.
Footage showed Leigh saying: ‘Sorry to hear that’ while appearing to deliberately spray the man’s back with urine.
He posted footage of the prank on Snapchat – but was quickly met with a huge backlash and has now been charged.

Dyfed Powys Police said: ‘We have charged 40-year-old Leigh Brookfield, of Dan Y Lan, Llanelli, with common assault in relation to the incident alleged to have taken place at Llanelli Tennis and Squash Club in Llanelli on Boxing Day.
‘He has been remanded into custody and will appear at Llanelli Magistrates Court today.’
The DJ, who performs in bars and at weddings around Llanelli, West Wales, posted an apology on Facebook before deleting his account.
He wrote: ‘I’m apologising to you all regarding my actions this evening. I’m deeply sorry for those who I have offended and if I could take it all back I would.
‘It’s just something me and the boys do when we are drunk and until watching the video back I didn’t realise that the nice gentleman next to me was going through health problems.’
But his apology was blasted by viewers of the video with one woman saying she no longer wanted him to DJ at her engagement party.
Another woman said: ‘It’s something you and your mates do when you are drunk? So this isn’t the first time you’ve p***** on someone?
‘Even in this “apology” you are downplaying and justifying your actions by rationalising what you did.

After the vile stunt was shared on social media, the DJ, pictured at what appears to be a Halloween event, saw his Boxing Day event cancelled
Brookfield, pictured here, had been due to perform on Boxing Day night at the Stamps nightclub in Llanelli but the venue said it cancelled his booking as soon as it learned of the video
‘Literally you p***** on a man when he was telling you he has prostrate cancer. It would still be abhorrent event if he didn’t have cancer.
‘The fact you’ve done it before and your friends do it too doesn’t make it alright.’
Another said: ‘If this is the norm for him which appears it is as he states about him and the boys.. then he should have given up the drink along with his kiddy friends a long time ago.
Another added: ‘That poor man complaining about his illness and he’s happy taking a p*** on him.’
