Police have launched an investigation to find the thug who punched a lone Asian man as he walked along a street in Hartlepool last night.
Hartlepool erupted into violence for the second night yesterday as anger continues to grow over the Southport stabbing which claimed the lives of three young girls.
As the lone walker approached the end of the street to turn the corner, an unidentified yob struck him in the face causing him to stumble a couple of steps backwards. The group standing at the end of the road can be heard yelling a series of racial slurs towards the assaulted man as he turned around and walked back in the direction from which he came.
False speculation surfaced online that the suspect was an asylum seeker who had travelled to the UK on a boat, which appeared to be fuelling the shocking violence which started outside a mosque in Southport on Tuesday and spread across the UK yesterday.The suspect, who is from the nearby village of Banks, Lancashire, but was born in Cardiff, Wales, has been charged with the murders of six-year-old Bebe King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar.
But her wishes were ignored as angry mobs took to the streets - in other parts of the country - amid mounting anger as many were filled with an anti-migrant rhetoric.
