A man has been left with 'blurred vision for life' after being attacked with a glass while trying to break up a fight. The 36-year-old man from Greater Manchester, who asked to remain anonymous, says his vision has been reduced to 70% in his left eye after the glass was smashed in his face at a city centre pub.
A fight broke out between two men from two groups who were playing pool at the Piccadilly Tap on October 2 last year, having earlier watched the Manchester derby, which saw City beat United 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium. The victim was one of a number of people who stepped in to try and break up the fight, but was himself attacked when a man smashed a pint glass into his face.
"It's damaged the muscle in my pupil," he said. "I'm down to 70% vision in my left eye for life.
