men on the dance floor at the club shortly before 1am.
Collins was captured on CCTV grabbing a bottle containing the noxious substance from the back pocket of an unidentified man, and throwing the substance towards the face of one of the men he was arguing with.
After the man dropped to the floor, Collins squirted the contents of the bottle twice more.
Victims described seeing “steam” rise above them and a pervasive chemical smell which made them choke.
Collins, who also sustained burn injuries from the acid used, stayed at the club for nearly another hour until about 1.50am.
He was captured on camera after the attack appearing to laugh.
At the time of the guilty verdict in November, Hackney Borough commander Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Laurence called the incident a “barbaric and cowardly act”.
“Collins went to the nightclub that night with a bottle of a noxious substance with the intent to use it to inflict serious harm,” he said.
“He indiscriminately and recklessly sprayed the substance in a crowded place, knowing full well the danger this would pose to a large number of people.”
