A man who had petrol thrown in his face in an apparently homophobic attack says he is "determined" to pursue his career as a photographer, despite now being blind in one eye.

Tyler Maddick, 20, says he was verbally abused by a group of men who pulled up behind him in a car and threw petrol at him.

The Swansea photographer, who already had problems with his vision, was afterwards told by a doctor that his damaged eye could not be saved.

"Instead of being fuzzy, blurred-out, vision, it just went completely black and that's when I realised, I'm actually in real trouble," he said.

Swansea police are investigating the incident as a hate crime and are trying to find CCTV of the incident.
