Mr Tickner, an assistant headteacher went to Ye Arrow in Rochester with his wife and some friends for a few drinks when the attack unfolded.
he explained the fight started when a strager at the pub punched one of his friends in the face. He said: “I went over and saw another guy run toward my friend. I pushed him away and had that substance thrown at my face.
“I fell to the floor. My eyes were stinging and my mouth was swollen – I lost consciousness. I was hosed down by the fire brigade for about 30 minutes. I was taken by ambulance to Medway Hospital for about four days.
“It was probably the worst pain I have ever had in my life.When I was on the floor, my lips and tongue were swelling. I was screaming for help, but no one could hear me.
“They said it was a corrosive substance, but the police can’t take it as that, even though that’s what the doctors diagnosed it as.”
