Glass danger

It's been said here before - if a fight breaks out, chances are great that someone will grab the nearest item to be used as a weapon. And if that happens to be a bottle or some other glass item, the consequences can be disastrous.

Story:
Australia -- A 20-year-old woman glassed in the face and now blind in one eye has demanded pubs and clubs be forced to use toughened plastic cups, according to news.com.au.

She made the plea from her hospital bed where she remained in pain since being attacked on a dance floor early on Sunday morning.

The victim says the altercation between her and her alleged attacker at the pub in Wollongong occurred after they bumped into one another while dancing.

"We exchanged words and within 30 seconds I had a glass hurled into my face," she said.
