Man scarred for life in Huddersfield town centre attack
20-year-old from Crosland Moor hurt in motiveless attack
A man says he has been scarred for life after being slashed in the face in a row over a cigarette.
The 20-year-old, who does not want to be named, was standing outside Dixie Chicken in Cross Church Street in the centre of Huddersfield at about 2am on Sunday after spending Saturday night in town when a man he had never seen before approached him and asked for a cigarette.
The victim said he told him he didn’t have one– and the man punched him in the face before slashing him in the face, head and ear with a craft knife .
He said: “I thought he had scratched me but he cut my face with the knife.
“I don’t know why he slashed me. The argument started over a cigarette outside Dixie Chicken and moved to St Peter’s Gardens. I wouldn’t give him a cigarette and then it spiralled out of control.
“I ran off and a couple helped me. They rang the ambulance and put a tissue on my face to stop the bleeding.”
