Caught on film: Thug is snapped after gay attack
[Matt Eley - UK]
POLICE hunting a crazed knifeman who stabbed a man in Highgate because he was gay have issued CCTV footage in a bid to trap his attacker. Detectives have launched an attempted murder investigation following the attack on an N20 bus in Highgate, which resulted in a man being stabbed four times and left for dead.
A 25-year-old man boarded the bus in Tottenham Court Road with his 38-year-old male partner at about 4am last Thursday. The suspect got on the bus at Camden Town and sat directly behind the two men on the top deck. As the bus approached Highgate Tube Station the suspect started an argument with the two men after he became annoyed at the apparent nature of their relationship.
Following a brief exchange the suspect got off the bus but changed his mind, got back on and stabbed the 25-year-old victim in the neck, stomach, arm and leg. The suspect, also aged about 25, fled but his image was captured by the bus CCTV system. The victim was left in a pool of blood on the bus before being taken to hospital. He has since been discharged after making what police described as a "miraculous recovery".
Detective Sergeant Ralph Coates works for the Haringey Police Community Safety Unit, which deals with hate crimes such as homophobic attacks. LINK
