This is the shocking moment a man is repeatedly slashed in the face with a broken glass at a West End bar.

CCTV footage taken from the Be At One cocktail bar in Greek Street near Piccadilly Circus, appears to show the glass being swung three times into the man’s face.

One blow seems to be delivered with such force, it knocks the victim back.

As the attacker continues to lunge towards him, other customers step in to break up the violence.
