A man with learning disabilities "almost had his ear ripped off" in a brutal Llanelli gang attack.
22-year-old Jordan Nichols was on a night out with a friend in Shakers bar before the attack occurred just after 2am.
Peter Nichols was shocked after his son Jordan was violently beaten during the early hours of last Sunday morning in the town centre.
He claims a gang of between 10 and 15 men "stamped" and kicked his son, who has Klinefelter syndrome, until he lost consciousness.
The Swansea resident said: "He had come outside the bar and was waiting for a taxi when it happened.
"He was jumped by around 10 to 15 of them. You could see by the injuries on one side they were stamping on him on the floor.
"They almost ripped his ear off.
"His friend tried to jump in and help and he was beaten up badly too."
Dyfed-Powys Police officers attended and transported the seriously injured man to Prince Philip Hospital.
Jordan suffered a broken nose, had to have five stitches to a serious ear injury, a cut eye, a split lip, and suffered severe bruising to his body.
His collar bone was also damaged which his father claims could have had even more serious consequences after a previous injury.
He said: "They could have killed him.
"I don't know what happened on the night. He could have bumped into someone or said something. But nothing could justify this.
"I want someone to be answerable for this.
"It was done with pack mentality. They were stamping on him. Someone could have killed him.
"When there's 10 to 15 boys trying to rip his ear off and attacking him this violently — it's not right."
A spokeswoman for Dyfed-Powys Police said: "At approximately 2.15am on Sunday April 3 a 22 year old man was assaulted outside Shakers. The man was conveyed to Prince Philip Hospital.
"Police are investigating. Anyone who witnessed the assault can contact them by calling 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111."
