Smurf KOs Rasta

A SMURF who launched a brutal attack on a Rastafarian in a nightclub was last night being hunted by cops.

The blue and white Halloween reveller left his victim needing stitches after battering him in the club after a party.

Cops were called when trouble broke out following the fancy dress night at the Word Up club in Greenock, Renfrewshire, which had been offering drinks for 1 quid.


Attacked ... The victim wore Rasta outfit

The 21-year-old victim, who was dressed as a Rasta, was taken to hospital in his costume where he had stitches put in his face wounds.

Police are now appearing for witnesses to track down the reveller dressed as a Smurf.

Last night Detective Inspector John Dearie, of Strathclyde Police, said: "This is the first time in 30 years in the police force that I have been looking for a Smurf.

"We are treating this very seriously. Whether people are dressed up as a cartoon character is neither here nor there.

"We will be making inquiries at fancy dress shops but it would be better if the person responsible was to hand themselves in.
"People can resolve this quite quickly if they identify the person anonymously."

The attack took place in the early hours of Monday.

It's not the first time a fight has broken out among fancy dress revellers.

Last year, witch Karen Hamilton, 41, brawled with a group of girls in safari dress.

The mum-of-two headbutted one on the back of the head and another woman, dressed as a duck, was also hurt.

Hamilton was fined 250 quid and ordered to pay 50 quid compensation at Selkirk Sheriff Court.
