Glass face smash victim ‘too scared’ to go out

By Andrea McCallum

A CARER left scarred after a drunken thug smashed a glass into his face says he is now too scared to go out to the pub.

George Cowe, 39, was left with scars to his face after unemployed Barry Rutherford launched the unprovoked attack in a pub.

Now George says his life has been affected to the point where his family fear for his safety every time he leaves his home in Eskview Avenue, Musselburgh.

He said: “I don’t go out any more, really, and I have only been out once since the incident.
