Britain: A white teenager was left for dead after being chased and savagely beaten by a gang of South Asians in a suspected racist attack

Daniel Stringer, 17, was pursued through a busy town center by up to eight men and then repeatedly kicked and punched in the head. He was left in the road, bleeding and barely conscious, as the gang melted away into the night. Police say there is no evidence of provocation and are treating the attack as a serious hate crime. Daniel’s family issued pictures of the teenager lying seriously ill in hospital with a fractured skull and fractured eye socket. They say the nerves behind his eyes have been damaged and he could be left with impaired vision.
