A MAN has been left with a permanent scar after a thug threw a glass at him in a busy pub full of punters.
Cops are looking for the attacker who kicked off in MacConnells in Hope Street at around 9pm on Sunday.
Police say the man was in the Hope Street boozer when he was struck on the head with a glass.
The attacker made off from the bar following the incident and the victim was taken by ambulance to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary where he was treated for a serious facial injury and then released.
The suspect is described as white, late 20s to early 30s, medium to heavy build with short dark hair and a beard. He was wearing a grey jumper with white writing on the left side and a horizontal reflective stripe on the back. He was also wearing jeans and grey shoes.
Detective Constable Paul Houston, from Stewart Street CID, said: “Someone has deliberately thrown a glass across the room of a busy bar and struck the victim in the face. He will be permanently scarred as a result of this despicable act and it is absolutely vital that we trace the individual responsible.
“From CCTV enquiries we can see that the suspect was in the company of three or four other people and I would appeal to them directly to do the right thing and help us identify the perpetrator.
“I would also ask anyone who was within MacConnells last night and witnessed what happened to please get in touch. Anyone with information can contact Stewart Street CID via 101, quoting incident number 4079 of Sunday 25 February 2018. Alternatively you can call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence.”
