A shocking new image of the victim of a brutal assault has been released, just days after he visited one of his attackers in prison and forgave him.
Paul Kohler, 56, a university lecturer, was brutalized by a drink and drug-fuelled gang of four Polish men who burst into his home in Wimbledon, west London, in the summer of 2014.
The 20-minute beating left him with a fractured eye socket, a fracture to his left jawbone, a broken nose and bruising.
Shocking: This newly-released picture shows university lecturer Paul Kohler immediately after he was savagely beaten by four Polish men who barged into his house and left him with severe injuries
A newly-published image from the immediate aftermath of the attack shows the huge swelling around Mr Kohler's eye, which can barely open and glows a livid shade of purple.
Blood pours from his nose and lips as the dazed law academic, who teaches at London's School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS), struggles to focus on the camera.
