Man glassed in the face at Glasgow bar
The 30-year-old was attacked in the early hours of Sunday at The Social at Royal Exchange Square.
A man has been violently glassed in the face at a bar in Glasgow city centre.
The 30-year-old was attacked in the early hours of Sunday in The Social at Royal Exchange Square after his friend got into an argument with the suspect and he tried to intervene.
His friend became involved in an argument with another man. As the 30 year-old man attempted to intervene between his friend and the suspect, he was then struck with a glass across his face.
He was taken to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary by ambulance where he was released after receiving treatment for serious injuries.
The suspect is described as a white male, around 5ft 10 in height with a slim build, aged 25 to 30 years old. He is described as having stubble and an undercut hairstyle, clipped short at the sides and longer on top, which was swept towards back.
At the time of the incident he was wearing a white shirt, black trousers and brown shoes. He was also wearing a distinctive blue denim jacket with a faux fur collar.
After the incident, the suspect made his way through Glasgow City Centre in the direction of Queen Street.
Detective Constable Gordon Walker, from Greater Glasgow Division CID, said today: “This violent act left a man requiring hospital treatment for serious lacerations to his face. It also resulted in the suspect sustaining what we believe is a serious injury to his right hand.
“This incident was witnessed by a large number of people within the bar and we understand that the suspect was aided by a number of persons outside the bar on Royal Exchange Square, who attempted to elevate his hand in an effort to stem the bleeding.
“We will trace the person responsible and I would ask anyone who witnessed this attack within the busy bar or has any information to contact the CID at Stewart Street.”
Anyone with information should contact Stewart Street CID through the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.
