Nightclub Horror: Victim Needed 25 Stitches After 'Bottling'

A Hackney nightclubber needed over 25 stitches after this suspect smashed a bottle into his face after the pair bumped into each other.

Detectives have issued this CCTV image of a man they wish to identify and speak with in connection with the horrific attack.

In the early hours of Sunday, September 6, last year the 32 year-old victim was in the Basing House nightclub in Kingsland Road.

At about 2.30am a man bumped into him before attacking him, hitting in the face with a bottle.

The bottle smashed causing serious cuts to his face which required over 25 stitches.

Bouncers at the venue intervened and ejected the suspect.

The victim was then taken by cab to an east London Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.

He was released two days later following treatment.

The suspect is described as a black man, with short black hair, wearing a dark coloured jumper.

Police are keen to hear from anyone who may recognise the man shown in the CCTV footage or who witnessed the assault.

Anyone with information is asked to contact investigating officer DC David Leitner on 07825 793 215 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting ref 194451.
