"This is the horrific injury inflicted on a student by thugs wielding a broken bottle.
The two 22-year-olds were the victims of an unprovoked attacked by five men in Middle Street, Brighton.
The pair were left needing facial reconstruction surgery and stitches and police said the road was awash with blood.
Sussex Police had previously refused to release the picture, saying the image of the injury was too shocking.
But detectives have now changed their mind and hope when witnesses realise the ferocity of the attack they will come forward with information.
Officers said the injury to this student, named only as Jack, were some of the worst they had ever seen.
DS Stephen French, who is leading the investigation, said the attack would leave both men, who do not want to be identified, scarred for life.
Detectives are looking for five men who they believe were probably seen by door personnel.
It is thought they could have been turned away from clubs in the area before the assault.
Police are also appealing anyone who might have witnessed the attack at 2.30am on Sunday or who may have seen the men, particularly those who service the night-time economy, such as security staff or taxi drivers, to contact them.
Officers have also appealed for a man who gave first aid to the men to come forward.
They believe he may have useful information which could help their investigation.
The suspects are described as white, between 20 and 30. It is now believed that they were all wearing light tops or hooded tops and all were shaven headed. "
THat's absolutlely shocking .
I'm originally from Brighton and love the place, but I've been in the States for 9 years now, and everytime I come back I just don't feel that safe going into town when I'm over visiting friends and family.
I live near Detroit, which is no Holiday destination either, and I've have been in a few scrapes over the years. Having said that in 9 years I've only ever seen a handful of fights at Bars............and glass/bottle attacks just don't happen !!!
It seems to me as a 36yr old that all the drop outs who left school at 16,17,18, while I was there have gone on to spawn a generation of absolute C**ts
Has it always been this bad ?......Or am I just more aware of it as Im and old fart now ?
