A former Otago student who left three people scarred in a bloody bar attack will be released from prison just in time for Christmas. Ayoun Soud was among 250 students attending a gig at Fifty Gorillas, a bar formerly in Princes St, when he became involved in an altercation with another partygoer. The first victim approached Ayoun Soud and asked if he was ‘‘all good’’ once things seemed to have calmed. The location of Ayoun Soud's release and with whom he would be living were redacted in documents released to the Otago Daily Times. Ayoun Soud had work lined up with a marine detailing company and planned to complete his degree next year.
