Another yobbo attack in east London.

------------------------------

A 92-YEAR-OLD MAN is recovering in hospital after being brutally attacked by yobs on a bus in the East End.

The pensioner remains at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel being treated for eye injuries.

Police say that just after 12.15 pm on Tuesday, the man was travelling home on a busy D6 bus along Poplar High Street when a rowdy group of teenage boys stormed onto the bus at a stop near Bazely Street.

Sergeant Paul Atkinson said the boys allegedly began pushing in front of passengers and being disorderly, so the pensioner challenged them and asked them to be more considerate of a woman with a child in a pushchair.

He said: “There were around six young lads got onto the bus.

“Due to their behaviour the victim is believed to have remonstrated with the youths before one of the teenagers punched him in the face.

“The group were then seen to run from the bus towards Cotton Street.

“The victim suffered from a swollen eye and a cut to the side of his right eye.

“A 17-year-old youth has been arrested in connection with the incident and remains in custody at an East London police station.”

He added: “This was an appalling assault.”

Police are appealing for anyone who may have been travelling on the bus when the incident took place

death is too good for these kind of people, honestly, or just drown them at birth.

I am sickened .... how can people do this?

And to think somewhere, parents of these 'children' think their kiddies are well behaved, polite and well mannered.

It could never be your child .....

Police pledge to crack downon `childish' gang of thugs

YOUTHS battered an innocent pedestrian with an iron rod in a brutal attack at the Mill Quay estate on the Isle of Dogs.

Shocked residents witnessed the assault at around 7.45pm last Tuesday night (August 2) on the housing estate off Wheat Sheaf, just south of Millwall Dock.

An eyewitness, who lives on the estate, told The Wharf: ``I noticed a group of seven Asian teenagers prowling the estate in a menacing way, and calling themselves `terrorists'.

``From their attitude, it was immediately obvious that trouble was brewing.

``Only minutes later, I witnessed them use an iron rod to assault a pedestrian adjacent to Millwall Dock, followed immediately by an attempted assault on a jogger.

``Both attacks were completely unprovoked, and, in my opinion, racially motivated.''

The witness called the police, who promptly arrived on the scene, and he showed them photographs of the attackers he had taken while the drama unfolded.

However, the police were reluctant to follow the matter up as both victims, along with the gang, had since left the scene. ``I found this surprising, as therewere multiple witnesses and good photographs of the perpetrators, but also very frustrating as the youths in question are regular troublemakers on the estate,'' said the witness.

``While they (the police) were trying to convince me to drop the matter, both victims fortunately returned the scene.

``One of them had a deep red welt diagonally across his back from his hip to his shoulder.

``I understand that the police are currently under a lot of pressure. However, I am nevertheless disappointed with their reluctance to investigate a crime when the perpetrators are so easily identified.

``Small wonder that gangs such as these are able to roam estates such as Mill Quay, openly intimidating residents and causing trouble without any fear of the consequences.''

But police are not taking the attack lightly, particularly in view of the recent heightened state of security around London.

Chief inspector Gary Brown said the gang were being ``childish'' by calling themselves ``terrorists''. He added: ``We seem to be getting a lot of it in the borough.

``In the current climate it's very, very serious and we're jumping on it
