The Metropolitan Police have released footage of the moment a man was glassed in a Shoreditch pub.

The footage, from the Crown and Shuttle pub, was captured on September 30 2023 at 10.30pm from the pub's CCTV.

The victim was a man in his 30s who was involved in an "altercation" with two other unknown men. He sustained a head injury after one of the men hit him with a pint glass before they fled. 

Police have chosen to release the footage in a bid to trace two men who they believe to be key in the investigation.
