A hotel worker whose nose was bitten off on the night of his work Christmas party is having it rebuilt using skin from his face . Christopher Watson , 32 , admits he was too drunk to remember on a night out with colleagues in Newcastle upon Tyne on December 23 , but insists he was attacked . He is currently recovering from reconstructive surgery as doctors battle to repair his disfigured face using grafts from other parts of his head . But police have shelved the investigation into the alleged attack because he was too drunk to remember who attacked him , and where . Anger : Christopher Watson , 32 , claims his nose was bitten off , left and right , during his work Christmas party but is furious after police shelved their investigation because he was too drunk to remember what happened . After checking CCTV at possible locations and hunting for witnesses , officers found nothing so were unable to record the incident as a crime and suggested he may have fallen over . Mr Watson fears the person who attacked him may now never be caught and denies he fell because he had no grazes on his hands , elbows or knees . Now he faces years of surgery to repair his nose , which was so severely damaged people can not stop staring . Aftermath : Mr Watson says that people keep staring at him because of his injuries . He said : 'It 's been awful . People still stare at me wherever I go , in the shop , on the bus , I get people looking at me . ' I just ca n't get my head around the fact that this has happened to me and I do n't know why . ' He had been enjoying a Christmas do with his colleagues from Newcastle 's Vermont Hotel when the mysterious incident occurred , during the early hours of December 22 , 2013 . He believes he was attacked near Grey 's Monument , outside Fenwick department store , in Newcastle city centre . He said : 'All I can remember is a flash of blue , then the pain of someone biting my nose , I can just remember the excruciating pain . I was delirious , in shock and in pain ' . He then went back to the hotel he works in and a friend called an ambulance . When Christopher got to hospital medics told him a piece of his nose , the size of a five pence piece was missing . The hotel maintenance worker has since undergone painful skin grafts , and in December surgeons took skin from another part of his face to rebuild his nose . Last month Christopher went under the knife again for more reconstructive surgery . And he will return to hospital this month to find out what the next stage of his treatment will be . Christopher still believes part of his nose was bitten off . But police say there was not enough evidence to suggest a crime had taken place . 'There is no way I could have got that injury without someone else doing it . The police say I could have tripped or fallen , but I have no other bruises on my knees or hands . And I was wearing my glasses and they did n't break . 'The police have now written it off because I ca n't remember what happened . I thought it happened outside Fenwick but I ca n't be sure . They say they checked the CCTV cameras in that area and found nothing . But it could have happened somewhere else . ' Mystery : Mr Watson has had surgery twice already after the incident on December 23 - but his memory of the night is hazy , making it hard for police to discover what happened . Northumbria Police has confirmed the incident was investigated but no evidence of an attack could be found . A spokeswoman said : 'We can confirm we received a report from the ambulance service that a man had suffered an injury . Extensive enquiries were carried out but no details of what happened or where could be clarified by the man or the person with him . If any further information is available we would ask people to contact the police . '
