    This attack took place on the 29th August - why have the police waited three months???

    Doesn't mention anything to do with race or racism in the article.

    If it was a group of white males doing this to a black female there would be outrage. Try and deny it but that is the state of Britain these days.

    There appears to be outrage at this incident. No-one is denying that.

    If it was proven to be a racially motivated attack then I would be happy to see it reported thus.

    As horrible as that is, there's got to be more to this story.



    She could have been taunting him back and then came off worse. Not saying what happened was right, i'm just saying we don't know the full story and as always, the Daily Fail are going to start spouting rasism.


    They didn't. It was the OP who brought up racism
  • Terrible incident, but I am also failing to see the racist element. If the group had just one white member would some still be suggesting racism? Is it also a sexist incident, perhaps ageist too - was everyone the same age?
  • Those images are very clear, someone knows who those men are. It's not like the usual grainy images you see from CCTV.

    Night buses in London... ugh! You get some wrong'uns at that time of night. Hope they're caught and punished, though yes the Police will tread carefully to avoid being called racist.
  • Glad to see a 26 year old has been apprehended over this. Gone are they days where you could seriously assault someone and your friends/family/community gave you immunity...social Media should be used more often as a means to apprehend suspects.......

    No it shouldn't. Having a bunch of have-a-go digital vigilantes deciding who's a criminal is not the way I want crime investigation to go.

  • Who is having a go?????Who is deciding who is a criminal.?...I beleive that will be the courts ,when he is up.
    The police asked for help in identifying him, He was identified. Job done!
