Mum-of-one beautician, 25, ‘glassed and spat at for confronting woman who called pal ugly at restaurant’
A BEAUTICIAN claims she was glassed and spat at after confronting a woman who called her friend ugly at a trendy restaurant.
Natasha Tourmentin, 25, was out celebrating a pal’s birthday when a row broke out at the Red Rooster in Shoreditch, East London.
The mum of one said she confronted a woman after she was said to have called her friend ugly.
But Natasha was then attacked by a man in the smoking area and cops are today hunting her attacker.
She was rushed to hospital and needed stitches to her eyebrow last Saturday.
Natasha said she questioned the woman for commenting on her pal’s appearance before tensions flared.
"GLASS ATTACK"
She said: “It was a ‘If you have nothing nice to say don’t say it’ sort of thing’.
“You don’t have an argument with someone about their looks.”
She claims a man - who was with the woman - suddenly spat on her and struck her with a glass before running off.
Natasha added: “I was deranged and had just been glassed. He went for my eyeball. There was blood all down my face.”
She was taken to The Royal College Hospital London to receive stitches.
I was deranged and had just been glassed. He went for my eyeball. There was blood all down my face.

In a Facebook appeal she wrote: “The altercation was actually caused by a disagreement.
"His friend didn't think my friend was attractive and we was simply saying that this isn't the way to (act) etc and if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
“No swearing or anything derogatory was mentioned. He then got involved saying he 'owns' the place and was calling people.
“My words ‘For what? Who are you please?’ Because it’s absurd to even escalate something so stupid.
BLOODY FACE
“The girl in leopard print appeared in the doorway with an empty wine glass, he then stood in it and spat in my face then hit me with the glass.”
In the post, which was shared over 250 times, she added: “This wasn't a heated argument and I did not say anything to provoke him to scar my face.
“If anyone knows who they are or have any videos or photos of the event can they please contact me.”
The head of security Craig Ronaldo said: “At no time a bottle or any weapons were used inside or outside.
“My team was there immediately to defuse the situation and police arrived shortly after.

“One of the females had a cut or scratch on her head. I believe this happened while the scruff was taking place.”
But Natasha, who also works as a hostess at a nightclub, said she was disgusted by the security team’s response.
She said: “I am gobsmacked. I want the CCTV. I am furious with security for letting me down.”
A Met Police spokesman said: “Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found a woman, aged in her 20s, suffering facial injuries.
“Her injuries were not life-threatening. Enquiries into the full circumstances continue. No arrests have been made.”
