Subject: Appeal for Witnesses Following Racially Motivated Assault.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check on me. I want to reassure you all that I am safe and alive. Fortunately, I escaped with minor cuts and bruises and have no broken bones.
I am writing this post to appeal to the community for witnesses, as the local police have informed me there is currently a lack of CCTV coverage or known witnesses in the area.On Sunday around 16:00 PM
I was subjected to a verbal and physical hate crime. The attackers made targeted, racist assumptions about my background. I am Kashmiri, but it is clear I was singled out solely based on the colour of my skin.
Suspect Descriptions:Group: Four white males, all approximately 5'9" to 5'11" tall.Clothing: All were wearing camouflage jackets.Appearance: One had brown hair, one had ash-blonde/brown hair, and one had black hair. They all shared similar hairstyles.
Key Aggressor: The individual who assaulted me with a wooden weapon had a scruffy beard. These individuals did not appear to be under the influence of drugs, and I have never seen them before.
Additional Information:The day after the attack, while walking home with my friend Lauren, Lauren Deans an unknown woman stopped me briefly to apologise for what happened and check if I was okay. She left quickly before I could get her details. If this was you, or if you know who she is, please reach out.
Your information could be vital.If anyone saw this group of men waiting in the area, witnessed the assault, or has any information regarding who they are, please contact me.
I will accept all tips completely anonymously, and your identity will be kept strictly confidential.
To those attempting to downplay or deny this incident online: I have evidence of the attack and the resulting injuries. I ask that you respect my situation and refrain from making false accusations online.Thank you for your support and assistance.
