[Gabbar Singh]

What a disgrace.

Asylum seeker still fighting for life after being beaten by mob of 20 people

Detectives investigating a suspected hate crime which left a teenage asylum seeker fighting for his life have released the images of three people they wish identify and question.

The two men and a woman are being sought in connection with the attack on a 17-year-old Kurdish Iranian who was attacked at a bus stop in Croydon, south-east London.

Eight people are being held on suspicion of attempted murder following a series of arrests over the weekend.

The Metropolitan Police said they know ‘approximately 20’ were involved the incident that left the boy with a fractured skull and a blood clot on his brain.

On Monday police renewed their appeal for witnesses and information as the victim remained in hospital in a serious but stable condition.

They later added that five people have been charged over the attack.

Detective Inspector Gary Castle, from Croydon CID, said: ‘Whilst arrests have been made, we now know that a large number of people, approximately 20, were involved in the attack on the victim.

‘A number of them approached the victim as he waited at a bus stop with two friends outside The Goat public house in the Shrublands.


‘It is understood that the suspects asked the victim where he was from and when they established that he was an asylum seeker they chased him and launched a brutal attack. He sustained serious head and facial injuries as a result of this attack, which included repeated blows to the head by a large group of attackers.

‘A number of people came to the aid of the victim as he lay unconscious and injured following the assault.

‘Two friends of the victim managed to escape the attackers and suffered only minor injuries. There are no other reported injuries.

Neighbours claimed up to 20 people watched while the teenager was kicked and beaten on the ground.

One resident of Shrublands Avenue told the Press Association: ‘There were more than eight people, there was a massive group coming up from The Goat pub. You couldn’t see who was hitting who.

‘There was one person, the one who ended up in hospital, he was getting absolutely beaten up – kicked, mostly in the facial area. He was getting kicked and punched by everyone.

‘There was a group of roughly 10 people that was kicking and punching him, and the rest, another 10 or 20, were all just around watching.

‘Then when they heard sirens they started to go. People that were there, witnesses, because they couldn’t do anything against a group of 30 people, they had to wait until they moved off and that’s when they managed to help him.

‘That’s eventually when the ambulance and police (arrived), and that was it.’

The attack has drawn widespread condemnation, with Tory minister Gavin Barwell describing the attackers as ‘scum’.

Mr Barwell, Croydon Central’s MP, said: ‘It’s an appalling crime and I hope the people responsible are caught quickly and receive the full force of British justice.’

London mayor Sadiq Khan also condemned the attack, saying hate crime ‘has no place in London, Britain or anywhere else’, while the Refugee Council said it was ‘disgusted’ by the assault.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also denounced it, saying: ‘Absolutely shocked at attack on young Kurdish asylum seeker, who came here searching for safety. I fervently hope he makes a full recovery.’

Scotland Yard said a 23-year-old man was arrested in Croydon on Sunday on suspicion of attempted murder, while a 26-year-old man and 17-year-old girl were detained on suspicion of attempted murder and violent disorder.

Five other people are still being questioned by detectives while a sixth, a woman aged 20, was released without charge.

The group – three men aged 20, one aged 24 and a 24-year-old woman – are also being held on suspicion of attempted murder and violent disorder.

Anyone with information about the attack should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

The same media which stokes the hatred with front page sensationalism, will now be condemning it with their crocodile tears in some tiny column on the inside pages.

Go figure.

The perpetrators appear to be mostly local Black British Afro-Carribean youths and young adults.

The question you have to ask yourself is what drives this sort of behaviour? What makes it okay to beat up an asylum seeker who is ostensibly harmless and not offending anyone? Who ultimately takes responsibility for raising gangs of feral youth in a city like London?

How tragic. Looks like Trump is becoming influential all around the world with his racism. - However, I don't think it was white supremacists this time. Kurdish Iranians are actually very light skinned themselves and another poster mentioned it was African youth responsible. There is no shame in accepting the fact that London does have a problem with all these immigrant neighborhoods who possibly do not like accepting new people into the ghetto.

Great job by British authorities and the people who came to help him. This is what makes Britain stand out among so many nations.

In the report I read there was mention of a large group of people coming up from The Goat pub.Police were trying to see if there were any links to the offence and alcohol consumption. It made me think of the Indian who got stabbed in a bar in the US when some drunk guy thought he might be a terrorist.

Can you imagine the candle lit vigils if these were white youths?

Aye.

It's like the persecution of blacks in Notting Hill in the 1950s.

The initial report did seem to suggest the perpetrators were black...

Race doesn't really come into it...roadmen are **** regardless of race...and were likely looking for anyone to do that to...

Scourge of London...these types...

Race did come into it, that's the problem. Once someone has made it an issue as happened when it was suggested that the majority of the perpetrators were black, immediately an impression is formed.

Other than that though I agree, you need to look at the underlying issues which would cause a mob to act like this in a first world country. Is it cultural? Media led? Poverty? Boredom?

Living in London unfortunately this 'underclass' culture is quite prominent...and its not race specific...the white underclass is as nasty as the black underclass...

What I find disappointing though about blacks engaging in hate crimes is they really should know better...have empathy...but these people in general dont have the capacity for that...media led is giving them too much credit...they may know that certain groups are disliked etc but in reality i reckon they just went out looking for someone to attack...they happened to come across an asylum seeker and they beat him...still a hate crime but anyone could have been a victim that day...

Poverty, boredom...these are all factors...gangs i guess give people a sense of belonging but under the most negative guise possible...

What area are you from btw?...

Asylum seekers are an easy target. These hooligans will not understand that many of these asylum seekers become that because of western hypocrisy, murder and involvement on foreign lands.

Poor kid, hope the judge makes an example and gives them long prison sentences.
