Un ventiseienne è stato aggredito da un gruppo di giovani perché non ha voluto rivelare a quale religione appartenesse.
L’aggressione ha avuto luogo sabato 4 aprile intorno alle 22:15, nella zona di Albertbridge Road a East Belfast.
Dopo aver attraversato il ponte all’incrocio con Ravenhill Road, quattro giovani gli hanno chiesto di quale religione fosse, ma al suo rifiuto lo hanno aggredito provocandogli ferite al volto e alle braccia.
Gli assalitori si sono quindi allontanati dalla scena.
I giovani avrebbero circa 15 anni e avevano tutti capelli corti o rasati a zero. Uno di loro indossava una maglia blu con la scritta Firetrap.

A man has been assaulted by a group of youths after he refused to tell them his religion.
