A MAN suffered deep wounds to the back of his head after being glassed in an unprovoked attack while on a night out with a friend.

The 18-year-old who does not want to be identified, was queuing at the bar upstairs in the Spot, in Old Town, when he was was assaulted from behind by another man at around 12.40am last Sunday morning.

The victim, of Westlea, was treated by paramedics but was taken to Great Western Hospital as he needed several stitches in the lacerations to the back of his head and neck.
His friend was also attacked in the incident, which came soon after they entered the bar as they were enjoying a night out.

Police have released a picture to show the extent of his injuries and Detective Constable Neil Hilton, of Swindon CID, said: “The victim has suffered some very nasty injuries and the picture shows that quite graphically.

“During the assault he was struck in the back of the neck with a glass resulting in a wound that required multiple stitches.

“It was a completely unprovoked attack - he was at the bar queuing for a drink when he was tapped on the shoulder, turned around and was hit from behind.

“His friend was also glassed and we are treating that as the same incident.

I wanted to know what queuing was, but, I see it is crowding, i.e.; as for an iPhone or such just like the US.

Oh, nice. That's just going to leave him with a couple scars and a good story to pick up girls with next time he's in a bar.

Queuing means "lining up", i.e., waiting his turn at the bar.

I took in out of context when I read people queuing up in the UK for iPhones.
