• Suspect one is white, approximately 5ft 6ins to 5ft 8ins, bald with short, brown facial hair. He was wearing a blue buttoned-up jacket, blue jeans and white trainers.

Throw the legal book at whomever participated in this disgusting act of senseless violence.

May the victim heal fully and hopefully not have to fear living the free, open, and happy life he deserves.
