A Glasgow sword fight victim has shared a horror hospital image of his facial injuries followig the attack.
James Quinn took the selfie at Glasgow Royal Infirmary after being brutally assaulted in a Rutherglen street on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old showed off the sickening s car running down the centre of his face while standing in hospital gown with a bandaged arm.
Quinn, 30, is feared to have also lost fingers in his right hand and his foe was treated for a massive wound in his back.
A source said: “Quinn sent the picture out on his social media to tell people he was not badly hurt in the fight. It was circulated around loads of people in Rutherglen.
“There will be repercussions to this. It’s a feud that has been going on and on and there will be more violence.”
It comes after The Record published footage of the shocking incident on Thursday showing Quinn's attacker loudly and repeatedly baiting his enemy, challenging him to “come out to play”.
Quinn was forced to seek hospital treatment after being injured during the altercation, which unfolded in front of scores of flats and residents on Greenhill Road.
The vicious thug was previously jailed for eight years at the High Court in Glasgow in 2009 for attempted murder in a gang knife attack.
Video of his sword fight shows a man approaching a property in Greenhill Road then demanding that Quinn comes out to face him.
Brandishing a large knife, the man shouts: “Sh***bag, Castlemilk boys in the area. Come out, I’m masel’ ya f***in’ chicken.”
When Quinn comes out, the men take the battle into the middle of the street, swinging the large blades at each other furiously, landing potentially deadly blows.
The original attacker then runs off towards Mill Road and Quinn retreats into his flat.
One local source said: “Both of these guys are well-known locally. The fight was terrifying and it played out in front of about 100 flats.
“They made such a racket that everybody ran to their windows for a ringside seat. It’s a miracle that neither of them was killed.”
Police have appealed for witnesses.
Detective Constable Jennifer Thirtle, of Cambuslang Police Station, said: “Our inquiries into this incident are ongoing and we would urge anyone who may have seen or heard a disturbance around 9pm on Tuesday to get in touch.
“In addition we would be keen to speak to anyone who may have seen anybody acting suspiciously or loitering in the area around Greenhill Road before the incident took place.”
Police are still hunting the attacker, who is thought to be a previous partner of Quinn’s girlfriend.
A Police Scotsman said: “Our enquiries are ongoing.”
