A man in Scotland was viciously attacked by two thieves all for a slice of the pizza he was carrying.

Mark Sinclair was walking back to his home in the town of Stenhousemuir after having picked up a spicy chicken pizza when he was ambushed.

The attacker told Mr Sinclair to "gimmie a bit of your pizza" before he began "laying" into him.

"As far as I’m aware it was only one guy but I got a bit groggy, so there could have been someone else," Mr Sinclair said.

Mr Sinclair was left with nerve damaged in the back of an eye and is now unable to remove a contact lens after being kicked in the face and throat at least half a dozen times, according to Scotland's Daily Record .

In an effort to find a witness to the attack, Mr Sinclair posted a gruesome photo of his injuries to Facebook.

"I've had a bad week," wrote Sinclair in his post. "If you know of or hear of anyone bragging about kicking me in the face and neck multiple times [...] please contact the police."
