A man's face was slashed open in the middle of a packed concert venue moments before DJ Roger Sanchez was due to perform.
Merseyside Police are hunting for the assailant after the incident at Camp and Furnace, on Greenland Street in Liverpool city centre, at around 11.55pm on Saturday (December 3). A graphic photograph, seen by the ECHO, shows a young man who is reportedly the victim of the slashing covered in blood and with a gaping wound extending from just below his right eye to his chin.
A statement from the police said the victim, in his 20s, was treated at the scene by on-site medical staff before being taken to hospital. The force said CCTV and witness enquiries are ongoing and urged anyone who saw what happened to get in touch.
