The victim, a man in his 20s from Goole, was attacked at about 9.10pm on Sunday, April 5 in Kennedy’s Café Bar on Little Stonegate.
He was standing at the bar with friends when he was struck in the face with a glass.
Police say the glass shattered on impact, causing lacerations to his face and eyelid. He was taken to York Hospital for treatment.

The suspect is believed to have left the bar shortly after the incident in the direction of Stonegate.

Gud ol york..
CCTV within the premises will be a term of the licence as it will be with the other attack on Spanish couple… drag it out, use it and prosecute… ALSO, in both instances you could ask what the …. the bouncers were doing… strutting their stuff as usual and being useless, as usual… they need training PROPERLY.
Absolute cowardly scum.
Lowest form of cowardice , gutless scum bag.
