And then one of them held the railing on.

And then there was kicks coming every angle of my body.

And I was just killed up on the floor like that.

I remember one of them came to kick me further on.

Thus, um, those were the words that I clearly remember.

Yeah, the only thing I could see when I stood up.

Uninterested int of this nature could quite legitimately have been described a critical incident.

It had potential to really impact on community confidence.

And it was compound compounded by racial motivation, the evidence of which is clear.

He was literally just implying that we knew the guys.

Um, we were buying stuff off them, um, that it was almost impossible for the racist attack that happened in that area on it.

It was I felt like I was being interrogated by their account.
