The Independent reported:
Police in London are appealing for help after a newly arrived American student was left scarred for life in a vicious bottle attack in June.
Francesco Hounye, 22, had only been in the UK three days when he was attacked by a gang of five youths in East London because he was “obviously not local”.
CCTV footage shows five Asian men setting upon the Floridan, before smashing the bottle he’d been drinking from into his face and chasing him over the road, punching and kicking him.
The attack took shortly after midnight, while Mr Hounye was walking with a friend back to their flat in Shadwell, after they’d been out in Brick Lane.
Police say it’s unclear what caused the fight, but it quickly became heated, leaving Mr Hounye in hospital.
