Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Frank Bruno was involved in a disturbance yesterday at the psychiatric hospital where he is being treated. Police were called to Goodmayes Hospital in Ilford, Essex.
The former world heavyweight boxing champion was sectioned under the Mental Health Act on Monday after police and health workers called at his Essex mansion.
It also emerged yesterday that Mr Bruno, 41, was spotted wandering the streets of Liverpool 48 hours earlier. He started knocking on doors in the Walton area on Saturday, saying he was looking for an old friend. He then stopped and chatted with a small crowd who gathered to meet the sporting hero, and happily posed for pictures.
Marie Rigby, 36, said: "I saw a Bentley parked at the end of the road at about 2pm on Saturday and thought it was strange. A friend came and told me Frank Bruno was in the street, so we went out to meet him. He seemed absolutely fine, and there were no signs of him being ill."
