Dundee pub glass attack left victim with ‘flap of skin missing’ below eye

The attack happened in the Arctic Bar.
The attack happened in the Arctic Bar.

A Dundee man left his victim with a “flap of skin missing” under his eye in a brutal glassing attack.

Steven McCafferty lost the rag with Scott Laws when Mr Laws made “offensive hand gestures” at him in Dundee’s Arctic Bar.

CCTV footage showed McCafferty – who knew his victim from the gym – lash out and smash a pint glass into Mr Laws’ face before raining down blows on his head.

McCafferty – who has previous convictions for assault, reckless discharge of a firearm and threatening or abusive behaviour – was then dragged off as he hurled abuse at his bloodied victim.

Fiscal depute Eilidh Robertson told Dundee Sheriff Court that Mr Laws was taken to hospital in an ambulance.

She said: “As a result of being assaulted, Mr Laws sustained an incised wound to his right lower eyelid, with a flap of skin effectively missing. He also had mild swelling to his right upper and lower eyelids.

“His wound was closed in theatre under local anaesthetic by an ophthalmology consultant using six stitches.

“The wound has left a small scar. Mr Laws had blurred vision for a short time afterwards but this has now corrected.”

McCafferty, 39, of Dundee, pleaded guilty on indictment to a charge of assault to severe injury and permanent disfigurement committed on August 8 last year.

Solicitor advocate Jim Laverty, defending, said: “This is a serious matter and custody must be in contemplation.”

Sheriff Lorna Drummond QC deferred sentence until next month for social work background reports and released McCafferty on bail.

She said: “Custody is at the forefront of my mind.”
