A pensioner has been scarred for life after being slashed in a terrifying pub rammy.
Violence broke out at the bar on Saturday night involving a number of punters after two men are believed to have been involved in an earlier physical confrontation.
It appears the 76-year-old was hit with a blade and a bar worker who tried to intervene to stop the violence was also injured.
Lanarkshire Live reports the rammy broke out at 10pm at Rutherglen's 100 Acre Bar and it is not known if the elderly man was involved in the trouble, or was an innocent bystander.
Police are trying to trace the person responsible for the attack on the OAP.
