A MAN has been left with horrific injuries after clashing with “up to seven” bouncers after being ejected from a nightclub.

The picture of Aaron Jackson (24) has been shared more than 4,000 times on Facebook after his fiancee, Bekky Jackson, posted it to show the public the disturbing facial injuries he suffered in the early hours of Sunday.

It is understood that Mr Jackson had been ejected from Liquid and Envy nightclub in Oldham town centre before having an altercation with door staff at about 3.30am.

A spokeswoman from the Retiro Street nightclub has confirmed the incident occurred after a male customer had become aggressive with door staff.

In a Facebook appeal for witnesses, Ms Jackson posted: “So the bouncers did this to my fiance this morning. At one point there was seven on one and he was choked unconscious twice. We were being ejected and Aaron had just gone to get his jacket when it happened.

“Spoke to police, there is CCTV and video footage on my phone.

“This is far from reasonable force.

“I already have some witnesses information but there were more people whose details I couldn’t take. Please, please share and get it to the people who witnessed this.

“Anybody with information please inbox me. Regardless of how little you may of seen.”

Mr Jackson was treated at Oldham Royal Hospital and is now recovering at home and police are investigating the incident.

A spokeswoman for the club said: “The safety and enjoyment of our customers is always our main priority and we do not tolerate anti-social behaviour of any kind.

“We can confirm that here was an incident in the club on Saturday night when a male customer, who had been asked to leave, became aggressive with our door teams.”

Ms Jackson thanked members of the public after her appeal went viral over the weekend.

She said: “Absolutely unbelievable the power of social media. I have been inundated with well wishes for him for people, far and wide, we don’t know.

“Thank you every single one of you.”
