Cat show organisers sued after pedestrian broke her nose on advertising billboard

Cat show organisers are being sued in Slovakia after a pedestrian broke her nose on a billboard advertising the event.

Victim Veronika Citatelka said: "What a stupid place to put a pole - right in the middle of the pavement. It almost knocked me out."



Town Hall officials in Bratislava have apologised for the accident, and say they will force show organisers to remove the sign.

Spokeswoman Miroslava Strosova said: "Billboards are not allowed to obstruct the flow of pedestrian traffic. It will be removed."
