Police Appeal Over Officer's Blinding
A policeman has lost the use of one eye after being hit by a missile after a Manchester soccer match.
The victim, who is 24, was trying to deal with a disturbance among rival fans outside the City of Manchester Stadium last month when he was hit by an object.
He was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary and now only has partial sight in the injured eye. It is not known if this will be permanent.
Police have issued a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to.
The officer was outside gate seven, on Ashton New Road, when the incident happened on 17 April.
Greater Manchester Police said the missile was thrown by one of a number of fans leaving the stadium after the match.
