Man ‘scarred for life’ after being glassed in Cirencester

A man says he was “scarred for life” after being glassed in an unprovoked attack in Cirencester.

Tim Unwin was assaulted outside the Barn Theatre in Beeches Road last October.

The 24-year-old was reportedly hit over the head with a Stein glass, taken from a nearby beer festival, which left him with deep cuts to his forehead, face and back.

Three months on from the attack, Tim says he has been “scarred for life” and now suffers from anxiety.

Gloucestershire Police believe Tim’s attacker had been at an Oktoberfest event earlier in the evening, and that a number of people may have witnessed what happened.

They have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to and have urged anyone who saw the attack to come forward.
