My name's Matthew Siren. I was involved in a glassing attack on Boxing Day. I was glassed
00:07
from behind, instantly blinded. I was then rushed to hospital, which I underwent five
00:14
hours of surgery to save both my eyes from bleeding and the infection, which, 30 stitches
00:21
in the right eye, 10 in the left. What really do I want from this is obviously some sort
00:27
of change to the laws. No one ever gets ID'd, which definitely should be something that
00:33
should come into play, so you instantly know that person is, where that person lives, if
00:37
anything does kick off inside. The glass to be removed from 9pm, just to serve plastic,
00:45
just to prevent this from happening to anyone else. Over 87,000 people a year get glassed.
00:52
It's costing the country billions.
