A night of music turned into a nightmare at Scotland’s Rewind Festival when a senseless, alcohol-fueled assault left a university lecturer permanently blind in one eye. Antonio Grant, 53, was attending the event with his family when he was violently attacked by Patrick Kerr and Simon Tierney—strangers he had briefly spoken with earlier that day.
The brutal incident was triggered after Grant declined an offer of food. Both men pled guilty and received a combined 10 years in prison. The court condemned their cowardly actions, underscoring the devastating, lasting impact on an innocent man simply trying to enjoy a festival.
