A former Married at First Sight NZ star was left bloodied, bruised and with a broken nose after being attacked with a beer bottle.
One of last season's reality grooms, Gareth Noble took to social media to detail the incident which took place on Friday night in Cromwell, along with photos of his injuries.
He said: "A guy thought I had made a comment towards him, but was actually talking to someone else, unfortunately his way of dealing with it was a bit different to mine.
"Throwing a bottle at someone's face is not the best way to go about things, but life goes on."
Noble said he suffered a broken nose and "a few superficial scars and bruises", but didn't seem too bothered by the incident, instead insisting on maintaining his sense of humour.
