Vinnie Jones Got Glassed

This is Jones’ version of events in Sioux Falls, South Dakota:

“We were having a laugh with a group of lads whose girlfriends I was doing pictures for,’ the X-Men star told The Sun. ‘They started having a joke about my films. The next thing I knew I was on the ground with a glass in my face.”

Jones, who needed 48 stitches to the wounds on his face retaliated, by punching the other guy in the face.

A plastic surgeon was flown from Los Angeles to treat the actor, removing broken glass from under his skin. ‘I’m just glad the plastic surgeon did a brilliant job,’ Jones said.

However, Police did not see the brawl going down the same way, resulting in Jones being charged with assault, after accusing him of starting the fight, claiming Jones charged at a customer named as 24-year-old Jesse Bickett, at Wiley’s Tavern after a dispute over a game of pool and the man hit him with a glass.

“It was a verbal argument that escalated to pushing and shoving and then a bar brawl.”

A friend of Bickett, who was arrested for aggravated assault, claimed Jones got offended after someone called him ‘that guy from X-Men’ after he asked to join their pool game.

You are either very brave, or very stupid to get in a fight with Vinnie Jones, but if you are going to do it, at least have the guts to fight, not try and blind someone with glass to the face.
