A screen shot shows the face of a teenager who could lose his sight after a gang of Asians beat him senseless in an unprovoked attack.
A teenager was left for dead after being chased and savagely beaten by a gang of Asians in a suspected racist attack.
Daniel Stringer, 17, was pursued through a busy town centre by up to eight men and then repeatedly kicked and punched in the head.
He was left in the road, bleeding and barely conscious, as the gang melted away into the night.
Police say there is no evidence of provocation and are treating the attack as a serious hate crime.
Daniel’s family issued pictures of the teenager lying seriously ill in hospital with a fractured skull and fractured eye socket. They say the nerves behind his eyes have been damaged and he could be left with impaired vision.
“I wish someone would tell me why they left my baby for dead in the road,” said his mother Cheryl Stringer. “I’m lucky to still have him.
“We don’t know the extent of the damage behind his eye until his swelling goes down.
“He then needs plastic surgery on the eye socket that they broke in two places. He also has several fractures to his cheek that need plastic surgery and he also has a fractured skull.
“It’s going to be a long, long battle for my gorgeous boy. I still can’t understand why they left him in the road to die.”
Daniel, still in great pain, told how he was cornered by the gang after they chased him through the town.
“They were older than me,’ he said. ‘One of them grabbed me. He hit me in the face and that’s about all I can remember.
“I’m upset and feel really down. Why me? I don’t know why they chose me.”
The incident occurred at about 10.15pm last Saturday when he and his best friend Kavan Brown, also 17, were walking in Hyde, Greater Manchester, when they passed a takeaway. Inside was a group of Asian men and a woman. Without provocation one of the men produced a knife and made a threatening gesture at the teenagers through the window, suggesting they were going to have their throats cut.
The pair walked on, but moments later the group spilled into the street and began to run towards them. Daniel fell over and was set upon as he lay on the ground.
He had emergency surgery after the attack and will need to return to hospital when doctors attempt to rebuild his right cheek with a metal plate. Kavan, whose nose was broken in the attack, said: “I just can’t understand why it happened. I’d never seen any of them in my life before.”
Police said there were seven or eight offenders who are described as being Asian and in their late teens or early 20s.
They are investigating the assault as a hate crime.

I'd be interested to see if either Sue or Anonymous can provide any evidence to back up their claims?

@sue why lie?? This was a totally unprovoked attack! There where no girls involved at all! It was a racist attack by MUSLIMS (Not Asians) And if it happened like you said it did then why did the takeaway wipe the cctv footage? So please go away and come back when you know the facts!!!!

This guy is a Bloody liar, he never mentions how he and his so called friend Harassed young asian teenage girls, hurling abuse and racist words at them and scared them into the Kebab shop, which triggered the beating, as asian guys were inside the kebab shop and asked what was going on and went chasing the two guys. I don't condone Violence but this was not unprovoked and it makes these guys seem genuine when they cowards in targeting girls, cause this Guy Dan and his Friend were still waiting outside the kebab shop for the girls until the guys chased them off. These British media outlets don't know real journalistic investigation even if it smaked them in the head, anyway they always have a bias point of view, when it comes to AsiansMuslims in general.

THIS is news in South Africa? Why does IOL keep using sensationalist articles out of the Daily Fail. There is more than enough craziness to report from right here.

CONDONE - I dont condone this but asians & blacks are frequently targetted by racist thugs in UK. A young indian student was shot dead early in December for no reason. UK Metro police is almost 90% still white and bias.

he may just have been a complete d**s and got beaten up for that. Not sure why it always comes down to race.

Attacks like this happen all the time, Especially in and around Manchester. Usually one finds they are totally unprovoked. England is going down the tubes big time

To Anonymous. I think the retards are the people who miss the point a simple point and try to clad simple issues with all kind of rubbish from the buggage they carry around. This was a racist act, which brutalised a young boy, robbing him of his innocense. It should be condemned as such

Maybe I'm missing something but the article does not specify any particular nation. Asia is a huge continent and Asians are made of a number of nationalities. So perhaps you need to get a bit of an education and stop being rascist by stereotyping.

yes, this can happen without provocation. It happened to me just outside a palace in the uk.

Really sad. All because he is of a different race to them. Hope he makes a full recovery.

THAT'S WHY THEY ALWAYS OPTED TO SURRENDER IN PREVIOUS WORLD WARS.... IF A PERSON HAS A PROBLEMM WITH ONE.. THE NEXT MOMENT THERE ARE TWENTY OF THEM... THEY CAN ONLY LOOK FOR TROUBLE OR DEFEND THEMSELVES IN GANGS...NEVER ON THEIR OWN !!!!!!

If they can't behave in Britain, send them back to their relatives in Asia. It will teach a lot of thugs a lesson.
