A man who suffered potentially life-changing injuries may have caused them himself in an attack on another person.

A 25-year-old man suffered a serious facial injury following a fight at the Balcony Bar, Ward Road, Dundee, in the early hours of yesterday.

Police Scotland were called to the bar at 2am to find a man with blood on his face being cared for by staff.

He was taken to Ninewells Hospital for treatment following the attack.

A staff member at the pub claimed it appeared as if the man had caused his own injuries.

The source said they had seen the incident on the pub’s CCTV.

She said: “There was five men in the pub who claimed to be Royal Marines.

“One of them was talking to another man and they shook hands.”

She said things took a nasty turn when one man headbutted another. She said the recipient of the headbutt ran off and the attacker seemed to have split his own head open.

The incident was over in two minutes and no-one else was involved although a crowd did develop round the injured man.

He was taken behind the bar where he was cleaned up and to wait while staff called an ambulance.
