These are the horror injuries suffered by a man who was glassed by a gang in a pub row after he defended his mum.
IT worker Ross McKenna had to have 28 stitches and was unconscious for thirty minutes following the vicious attack by eight men whilst his horrified mother watched on.
The 26-year-old victim claims he was attacked by the thugs after confronting an unknown man who swore at her.
The shocking scene unfolded at posh gastropub The Bull’s Head in Chislehurst, south London, on Sunday night.
Ross blacked out for thirty minutes following the horrific attack, a close friend said.
They said: “Somebody called his mum a c*** and he went up to hit them.
“And then he got glassed over the head and they knocked him out.
“Now police don’t appear to have arrested anyone.”
Initially, the 26-year-old could not recall the horrific attack but his memories came back later.
But he has been unable to recall details of the attackers to pass on to the police and the group left the pub immediately.
His friend added: “It was awful for both of them but they’re doing well now.
“We think they tried to take his watch during the attack but he managed to hold on to it.”
A Met Police spokesman said: “Police were called at 22:20hrs on Sunday, 18 August to reports of a fight inside a pub on Royal Parade, Chislehurst.
“Officers attended and found a man, aged in his 20s, with a cut to his head.
“He was treated by colleagues from the London Ambulance Service and taken to hospital.
“The suspects are believed to have left the venue prior to police attendance. “No arrests have been made; enquiries continue.”
