I know you said it was four Asian lads who did this but how can you be sure it was a racist attack? I'm not trying to say that it was any less of a crime - just want to know if you're absolutely sure it was because of race. There are many incidents of attacks where the victim and attacker are of the same race so why if the two are of different races should it automatically be assumed that that is the reason for the attack.

Just checking.
Racist abuse was used before the physical attack.
