Cowards! I hope this gentleman convalesces swiftly and is able to recover emotionally somehow. I would hate to think of him living out his life in fear and distress.

Hold on. Why are seeing pictures of the victim, when we should be seeing pictures (or a facefit) of the perpetrator? I don’t think this man deserves to have his poor beat-up face all over the internet …

6:30 am is fairly early – let’s hope there was somebody around at the time with some useful information.
