SNS GroupAn attacker turned up on his bicycle to help slash two men in brutal attacks at a flat.
Paul Foy and an accomplice were caught on CCTV arriving at the block in Aboyne Avenue, Dundee last September 24.
The pair were then captured leaving around a minute later.
One of the assailants was already masked – Foy, 38, then covered his own face as he left the building while pushing his bike.
His two victims went on to call the emergency services about what had happened to them.
The High Court in Glasgow heard on Tuesday that one of the men stated his face had been left “hanging off” and that he was struggling to speak.
He had been slashed from his ear to his nose.
Prosecutor Louise Beattie said the man needed surgery and has been left scarred for life.
The second victim also suffered wounds to his forehead.
Foy, of Dundee, was later held for the attacks.
The hearing was told his DNA was found on a door handle at the scene.
No weapon was discovered, but it is thought a large “flick-type” blade was used.
Foy pled guilty to two charges of aggravated assault.
Allegations that the victims were also robbed were deleted from the indictment.
It emerged Foy already a lengthy criminal past including for violence, disorder, weapons and drugs.
Judge Louise Arrol KC continued his remand in custody as sentencing was deferred until next month.
She told Foy: “This is an extremely serious matter, particularly the attack on [the first man].
“You have a record which is also not insignificant.”
