Het Nieuwsblad reports that a lorry driver was left with a fractured skull after an altercation with Chair during the QPR player's kayaking trip across Belgium and France in 2020. According to the Belgian newspaper, the prosecutor said: "While queuing to board the bus, the victims were suddenly passed by a lady in a green bikini and her family. They passed the group and, as it were, demanded to be the first to get on the bus because they had just missed another bus. This led to a discussion with other people who were waiting, including the later victims: Niels T., his sister Eline T. and Dries D.
"The woman in the green bikini behaved very aggressively and things quickly escalated. The woman lashed out at the victims and their children. There was hitting, scratching and biting. According to several people involved, Ilias Chair lashed out with the stone at Niels T., who immediately lost consciousness. The consequences for Niels T. were dramatic. He suffered a serious skull fracture of two centimetres. He was admitted to Reims hospital in critical condition. He would then have to recover in a Belgian hospital for a long time. He was unable to work as a truck driver for a long time and to this day he still experiences the consequences of that blow, which almost killed him."
