A gay man is in critical condition a week after being stabbed seven times by a gang of youths in east London. Police are treating it as a homophobic crime:
Said Detective Inspector Howard Way: “We are investigating this attack as attempted murder. What we're concentrating on is tracking down and bringing to justice the people who committed this evil crime.”
Added MP George Galloway: “This is a sickening and vile assault. A near fatal knife attack on a defenceless man is horrific enough. The fact that this also appears to be a homophobic hate crime compounds the evil.”
