This is the horrifying moment a man was left blinded in one eye after being beaten with his own belt by a gang of thugs. The 32-year-old Bensalaman Ismai was attacked at around 6am on January 26 last year after becoming embroiled in a dispute over a taxi in Birmingham city centre. After trying to run away, he was chased down and punched, kicked and hit in the face with the buckle of his belt, causing him to lose vision in one of his eyes.
