THIS is the moment a former soldier smashed a glass into another man's face in a shocking, unprovoked attack.

Afghanistan veteran Anthony Younger was sentenced earlier this year after he attacked Scott McArthur, leaving him with permanent scars.

The incident was captured on CCTV in Moloko Bar, Salisbury on August 24, 2013.

As previously reported by the Journal, a judge at Winchester Crown Court described the incident as a “malicious and nasty attack on Mr McArthur, who I'm satisfied did nothing to provoke a reaction to what was genuine friendliness”.

Mr McArthur, who works as a salesman, said he had been devastated by photos of his injuries.

Younger, who admitted guilt at the earliest opportunity, was sentenced to 15 months in prison, suspended for 18 months. He was also ordered to pay £2,000 in compensation to the victim.
