A NIGHT out for drinks turns into a bloody nightmare for a man.
The man was allegedly stabbed with broken bottles and knives because he refused to talk to a woman at a tavern in Putfontein.
But the law has finally caught up with his attackers.
On Thursday, 9 April, Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) Bronberg officers swooped in on three suspects, aged between 23 and 28, who had been on the run.
The victim told cops he was minding his own business at a local tavern on Saturday, 4 April when a woman tried to force a conversation with him.

But the man wasn't interested. He told her to leave, accusing her of stealing his belongings just a week before. The lady stormed off, only to return with backup.
One suspect allegedly smashed a beer bottle and stabbed the victim in the forehead with the broken glass. His two friends then joined in.
