Good now give them a custodial sentence not a slap on the wrist
Where are the halfwits from yesterday who said this was fake? Hello?! 🤡
BBC bias - “racially aggravated”.
Attacked due to ethnic origin ... the lowlifes doing this have just put themselves by their own rationale/excuse at risk of infection by contact with his face and eyes/ mouth which are primary contagion points Stupid & inexcusable attack🤬🤬🤬🤬
Yes because attacking people you think have coronavirus will stop you from getting coronavirus. Moronic racists.
Stupid teen age group in this country they don’t have manners or education
Horrendous attack. I don't care that they're teens. They should face the full weight of the law. This sort of behaviour can't be tolerated. Wishing Mr. Mok all the best & a swift recovery.
In my opinion using corona virus was just an excuse for these poor excuse of human beings, to attack this poor young man. I suspect this may happen again. Every day I'm becoming more embarrassed and ashamed of our country. NotMyBrexit NotMyPM notmygovernment RejoinEU 😡🇪🇺😡
Jesus christ. This country is fucked, with or without coronavirus. 28 Days Later can't come soon enough.
GOOD!!!!!
Man gets a black eye for confronting an obnoxious 15 year old. People are brutally killed every day in the UK and it isn't reported by BBC but this black eye is newsworthy?
What is going on in these peoples heads. I wonder I'd they would be so brave if they where not in a group
I’m really shocked at how this man was beaten. I hope there’s a consequence for those who beat him
CCTV images aren't great but someone out there must know a pudgy chode who owns a jacket with a ridiculous furry trim on the hood
I'm ashamed how this country has turned out in the last 2 decades it's disgusting and the parents of kids like these should be ashamed about what thugs they have raised
I'm so glad that arrests have been made
More and more often I am embarrassed to be British.
It’s you the media that cause some of these incidents by portraying journalistic opinions and not the truth nor the real facts and honesty mostly lies
What a shame !!! It happens in France too, unfortunately !!!
「われわれの国に、おまえのコロナウイルスはいらないんだ」 ロンドン中心部で、シンガポールからの留学生が若者らに殴られたり、蹴られたりした事件が起きました 痛ましい... ロンドン警視庁は、人種を理由に暴行を加えた罪で若者２人を逮捕しました 見た目だけで暴力を振るうとは、残念な事件
And here in Thailand the government blame westerners for helping transmit the virus. Report the the crap we get!!!!
I guess karma is a ....... just like they treat Africans in Africa
One awful incident doesn’t make a national trend.
Who raised these teens?
He should have Bruce Lee'd them into next week ...
Give the lowlives 3 years hard labour.
This is good news. This can now be investigated to establish the facts and appropriate action can be taken. If guilty, I'm sure the children will learn the error of their ways and learn from their mistakes as a result of the appropriate punishment which will be enacted.
Send the kids to wuhan ，please！
Stay away from me you've got coronavirus,now I'll just put my hands on your face and make it bleed that will stop the spread of coronavirus.
Nice one media.
I dont believe it
Jail time folks
You know if you think all Asians are responsible for the corona virus you should really just keep your distance from them. Physical contact has been known to spread diseases before
Sometimes I am so embarrassed to be British. Mr Mok sincere apologies to you and your family that you were attacked like this. This is a global issue not from a specific source any intelligent human being would know that. Your attack is not how British people act. You met dolts
Name and shame his attackers.
String the little pricks up.
WTF!
Will someone please explain why his back eye in the photos is on different eyes and is much worse on one.
Good, now, name and shame them
It’s awful but demonstrates the idiocy at play; if he did have coronovirus, physical contact would be a good way of contracting it.
Saw a tweet the other day showing cctv images of the two they were looking for this assault. They were not white people. Not that it should matter but thought it might stop certain assumptions.
Totally barbaric and unacceptable...shame for Britain!
Terrible. Barbaric.
But the police couldn't arrest a man who groped an 8 year old girl standing right in front of them
Those who do this are worse than the virus!.. antidote is present against the virus, but no drugs benefit ignorance!?..
I feel so embarrassed to be a human sometimes
The fact that teenagers are doing this is an indictment of our education and parenting skills!
Perhaps if media like the BBC stopped the scaremongering about the virus in the first place, then this kind of thing would not happen!
No words other than. Disgusting!
Good that they've arrested them. If they're guilty and they did it, then horse whip them.
Teen morons and low life. Easy to spot and not representative of anybody but their nasty selves.
Poor guy. The real sadness is that nothing of any consequence will happen to the perpetrators.
The corona virus outbreak is not an excuse to be racist. Absolutely disgusting
Good
15 years prison and some nice fine would be justice, instead...wonder how many days they will get if any.
Make an example of them.
Good - Bang out of order! So a face to face ‘I’m sorry session’ follwed by 6 months hard labour sweeping the streets for the community. Is in order.
You mean ‘thugs’ arrested
More results of media hype.
Heard about this yesterday, great they have arrested the scabs howe racially attacked this innocent guy,
I GET BACK FOR YOU
poor boy :( I hate bullys and racists !!
Absolutely disgusting behaviour! They better be dealt with properly, poor guy!!
So the brainiacs, touched him in the face and nose? We have some seriously thick twats in this country.
Good; that is a disgusting form of racism that has no place in any society.
