A MAN has been jailed for 10 years after he viciously assaulted a man outside a strip club in Colnbrook - blinding him in one eye.

Matthew Turner, 29, threw a glass into the man's face outside Tantric Blue Gentleman's Club at the Colnbrook By-Pass on April 10 last year.

The man suffered serious facial injuries, including to one eye, his cheekbone and jaw.

Turner, of Avon Road, Sunbury-on-Thames, was found guilty of grievous bodily harm (GBH) by a jury on May 5 and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment on May 10.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Chris Gould, said: “This was a vicious assault which has resulted in the victim being blinded in one eye.

“He continues to require extensive hospital treatment for this injury, more than a year after the incident.

"I am pleased that Turner has received a lengthy prison sentence for this offence, and I hope that it serves as a deterrent to others of the consequences you could face for this type of crime.”
