‘Vulnerable’ victim punched and kicked by gang in Blackburn park

A GANG of youths punched and kicked a ‘vulnerable’ man in a Blackburn park before stealing his bike.

The 36-year-old victim was cycling through Witton Park when he was pushed to the ground and attacked by the gang.

The man, who has learning difficulties and has been described as vulnerable, was stopped by the youths as he tried to cross a footbridge at around 5.20pm on Sunday.

Police said the group of between six and nine Asian youths dragged the victim from his bike by his jacket before punching and kicking him while he was on the ground in the Preston Old Road park.

The attackers, who are all thought to be under 18, then stole his £300 red and black Apollo ‘Phaze’ gentleman’s mountain bike with white writing on it.

Detective Sergeant Rob Anderson from Blackburn CID urged people to be vigilant while walking through the park.

He said: “It is always a concern for us when people are victimised in public parks and this man has been left extremely upset and shaken by this incident.

"But we would like to reassure the public that there is hardly any crime in Witton Park and we will ensure that we work hard to ensure that no patterns develop in the area.

“Although there is no need for the public to be afraid, we would urge them to be extra vigilant whilst walking through the park with valuable items in their possession.”

Anyone with information should call Blackburn police on 08451 25 3545 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at Crimestoppers-uk.org

And we know that nobody wants to go through that park for reasons like this thats why there is hardly any crime.

it would appear that these days anyone walking through a park is "vulnerable" with the large group of teenagers or young adults who hang around them menacingly.

In a nine against one situation, unless you're a ninja, you're going to hospital. Therefore you might as well accept the inevitable, and ensure that one of them is coming with you. Thumbs in the eyes, pop their eyes out.

Before I read the story I had built up a picture in my own mind. I though it must be a gang of Asian youths again picking on someone. I then read the article and I was bang on. Does this make me a racist or is it the other way round. The telegraph will now remove this post because I have used the word Asian. Catch the scum and lock them up before someone is seriously hurt.

Why describe the victim as 'vulnerable'?
Anyone surrounded by a gang of youths who intend harm is vulnerable unless they are a top class martial artist or they are carrying a handgun (Which we are not allowed to do, making us all vulnerable and all the criminals aware of it)

It seems to be a trend by young asian youths to pick on vunerable people who walk or in this case ride alone on the streets of Blackburn whether its a park were there is'nt many public about or a busy college campus were you would think is a very safe place to be.

Am not sure but if a group of white lads gather together in Mill Hill or anywhere in Blackburn police are on them in a shot to break them up.

So why are we contantly reading about groups of asians causing trouble throughout the town.

And why are the police not treating there gatherings in the same fashion as they would with anyone else?

And while the asian youth are doing this sort of senseless bullying they must realise that they are alienating
themselves and their families from the rest of the society.They are the ones who are fueling racism in are society and these are supposed to be our future.

Am affraid that this attack on such a vunerble sole white lad with learning difficulties as sickened me with rage and if the govrnment expects me or my family to intergrate with animals like the asians are proving themselves to be they must be joking.

I can't get my family away from Blackburn quick enough its become impossible to stay safe anywhere in this town.

How is it that we the LET seem to be constantly reporting similar stories like this one, almost week in week out but we never seem to hear about whether anyone is brought to justice for them? Is it simply that none of these feral scrotes are ever caught or is it that when they are it just gets quietly brushed under the carpet so as to defuse the race situation in the long term, which we all know will ultimately have the opposite affect! Questions need answering we can't go on like this!

Before they kill someone?? Not long ago, in the last 2 years, can't remember his name, a lad was walking through Queens park from the shadsworth end to his mothers and got beaten up and killed by about 10 asian youths! A friend of mine and his girlfriend out walking their dog had the misfortune to witness it! Wont be long before it happens again!

These young Asian lads are giving a bad name to their community. I know many young Asian lads who are upstanding members of their community, however when someone sees them in town or anywhere else they immediately think of them as being thugs. Guess thats what happens when you live in Blackburn.

These are just the reported incidents. I have several friends who can recount incidents of violence upon themselves, myself included, by gangs of lads. It is so much a fact of life that nothing will be done by the authorities that people are just not bothering to report it.
This lack of action is perpetuating the myth that they are untouchable. This is going to get much worse.

Once again a deafening silence from the rent-a-mouth community leaders who are quick to defend religious buildings and the progress of their communities.

Dear web moderator.

Once again you fail to provide an objective service to your comments page. Why have a comments page that fails to reflect the opinions of your readers if you remove anything which offends those delicate eye behind those rose tinted glasses?

It is YOUR paper that has printed stories about attacks in Corporation, Queens and Witton Park. It is also your paper which repeatedly publishes articles praising the fine and upstanding asian/muslim community. It is therefore only fair to point out that elements of the asian/muslim community are not so fine and upstanding and commit acts of crime on a regular basis just like other sections of our community.

We have to acknowledge that the asian/muslim community is no better or worse than us atheist infidels and the sooner we admit this and take islam of the this false pedestal of self righteous smugness the better.

The problem is that we are not London and do not have the Olympics. If the rest of the world is watching you 2 years prison for stealing a pair of trainers in London. Elsewhere you get 1 hour community service (if your unlucky) for beating seven shades of .......... out of someone for no reason!!!

Nothing has been learnt from the riots, in that if you let pockets of gangs get away with ‘murder’ then eventually they will grow and grow.

Throw an egg at royalty and bang, the book comes flying at you, beat up a normal person and not a problem, in fact head back out and do it again.........we the courts and politicians don’t really care about you ordinary people......

Hold on 1 second. I dont understand why people start bringing the asian race into this. Yes fair enough 9 asians on 1 vulnerable man. But this is a minority of asians. Not the majority. What about when so called "white" youths run riot in places like London and Manchester? What about when "white" men act like professional traders and con vulnerable elderly people right outside their homes? What about when a "white" man is wanted on crimewatch and that article ia on here? You dont hear asians being prejudice and making comments do you?

Some of you people are as bad as these thugs. I'm asian myself. A muslim. And proud. Yes these youths are heartless and scum. But theres no need for other comments.

Load of crap.

The LET and the perpetrators of this latest racist crime against a white victim by Asian thugs brought the Asian race into this story yet when people make honest comments, whether you like them or not, they are removed to hide the true public feelings about the way only white people can be racist.

It may only be a minority of Asians, FOR NOW, until others realise that they can get away with committing racist attacks against white people without any consequences.

Blackburn is a multicultural failure in general no matter how much the LET would like you to believe it is anything different.

We don't live 'all over the world' we live in Blackburn and have every right to make whatever comments we wish to regardless of whether a small minority like it or not.

We're sick of hearing how good it is being a multicultural town when it is only the whites that can be accused of racism.

Censorship only hides the problems it doesn't make them not exist.

'Be vigilant' yep...translated means DO NOT go through this park unless you are in a group....so effectively it becomes a 'no go' area or should I say another 'no go' area.Very reminiscent of Moss Side some years ago.

The fact that the attackers are Asian can only be relevant if it can be proved they are treated differently from the indigenous population by both the police in investigating such crimes or the judiciary in sentencing policy. I very much suspect most of this commenting on here have no such information but prefer to peddle innuendo and urban myths.

Other than on the grounds of identification of the offenders, there was no need to use the word Asian at all. If it had simply been reported as nine youths committing this cowardly act all those commenting would have been united in their condemnation. Instead we have hardly any posts critical of their actions but many using the story as a vehicle to infer reverse racism and preferential treatment for the Muslim community.

Life is short. We have to live together. Get on with it for God's sake. My Asian friends despise gangs like this as much as me and have no affinity with lawlessness whatsoever. If some of you opened your eyes you might discover we have more in common with our Asian friends than some of your ignorant minds might think.

I'm an asian and have many white friends. I've been a victim of racist bullying since i use to go school at Shads nearly 25 years ago. Bullies would always pick on me in numbers and never on their own. Working in Liverpool and Preston also taught me a few lessons by being physically bullied by gangs of teenagers, stone throwing on my car. However, i put this down to Social despair and lack of parental control rather than racism. Every community has their problems and we all know this deep down but it's too easy to blame it on colour of the skin or 'muslims'. Lastly, i hope justice is done and these bulllish thugs are caught.

How politically correct is that! we have very little in common with these Asian invaders,we don't share the same values they are not wanted. Mass uncontrolled useless immigration has brought crime to our streets and is damaging to our our economy, forced multiculturalism is Evil we don't want them and the social problems they bring. "we have to live together" indeed! no we don't, third world immigration was never wanted by the vast majority of the population and never will be it was forced upon us by the political elite who do not have to live in areas were they are surrounded by enrichers you call me ignorant, you are a politically correct quisling sir.

Black on white crime is not reported by the media certainly not to the degree of white on black which is very rare. It is suppressed by the politically correct psychopaths who are promoting the lie of community cohesion, one of the best examples of this poison propaganda is the BBC news and the media in general. The Police are constrained they have had to digest the Biased politically correct poison of the Macpherson report, and the Marxist inspired equality laws introduced earlier this year.

In answer to your post "what on earth are the police going to do"

Just one of many examples of this type of crime (always in a cowardly gang - seldom one to one) which, just like the sexual grooming of young indigenous white females, will continue, and get worse until our corrupt, useless police and justice system crack down as they should.
That will not happen until a nationalist government is installed.

No wonder the BNP and EDL see East Lancashire as such a rich breeding ground for its mentally bereft ranks. I've rarely witnessed such a depressingly right-wing, racist, and bigoted response from an apparent majority of posters.

Whatever happened to good old-fashioned Lancastrian tolerance and welcome?

I welcome law abiding citizens of any colour, creed, or tradition living next door to me. I want to wage war on crime not a religion or race.

Furthermore I'll lay odds that of all the gangs of anti social teenagers rampaging in apparent impunity in East Lancashire, Asians are in a significant minority. What do you have to say about that you racist lowlifes?

Maybe the good old fashioned tolerant Lancastrian is getting a little fed up with intolerant Muslims taking over their streets. Maybe their getting a little tired of politically correct Liberals calling them racist if they disagree with their point of view. You want to wage war on crime? stop Mass immigration. Yes, immigrants are a minority in the UK and the crimes they commit are massively disproportionate when compared the the rest of the population how do like like that politically incorrect fact badref? o dear i nearly forgot, politically correct brainwashed libtards are not so good with facts are they?

Working in Liverpool and Preston also taught me a few lessons by being physically bullied by gangs of teenagers, stone throwing on my car. However, i put this down to Social despair and lack of parental control rather than racism. Every community has their problems and we all know this deep down but it's too easy to blame it on colour of the skin or 'muslims'. Lastly, i hope justice is done and these bulllish thugs are caught.
That’s strange because I’m white and live in a mixed area and have no asian friends at all.

Not because I’m unapproachable or because I’m some knuckle dragging racist buffoon, but because we have very, very little in common. We have virtually no social activities that promote interaction.

What I can tell you for a fact is that the place is dirtier, the parking is pathetically slap dash and the drug dealing is rampant.

We all have our stories it seems…..

Nothing like a sweeping generalisation or pathetic stereotype to take the place of reasoned debate.

Funny, none of my Asian friends fit that description. I must have been so lucky in selecting the only few decent ones among our population.

You must have been unbelievably lucky! It also must be coincidence that there are yet again another two more stories in the LET today suggesting that members of the asian community have been up to no good or just innocently trying to bend the rules! Can't argue with the facts though pal!

And there will be far more stories of crimes being committed by the indigenous population.

The issue here once again for the hard of thinking, is not Asian versus white but criminals against victims. We need to unite against any form of anti-social behaviour or criminality by demanding proportionate sentencing for the first time in my memory. Then we can rid our streets of those making them a no-go area for decent, law-abiding people. Black or white, Muslim or Christian, gay or straight, if you commit a crime you should reasonably be expected to do the time.

Well said badref! The tone and the comments on this topic have now degenerated into crass bigotry and dull-witted, lazy stereotyping. The whining about there being some kind of PC, anti-free speech agenda is particularly hilarious. What is this comment thread other than free speech in action? If some comments have been moderated, they must have seriously stepped over the mark in terms of the language used All of the Asian contributers to this 'debate' - to which one side is deaf to reason - have made it clear that they abhor the disgraceful actions of those youths in the park. What more are they expected to do? Why should they even feel the need to do this, it is nothing whatsoever to do with them. Perhaps I, as a white male, should distance myself from the bankers in London who have got us into such a mess, and in some way suggest that 'We're not all like that'. There are good and bad, and even rotten, in all of our communities, but sadly some of the contributers here can't even stomach good news when the source is Asian, as this has to be some kind of pro-multicultural propaganda! Those of us who know how to get along with each other, and don't expect to have identikit cultures and beliefs and know how to be respectful, just leave us to it. The rest, in other words the half-wits who assault vulnerable people in parks, or who cannot help but judge people by the colour of the skin, or what they think they understand by their religion, need to take badref's advice and go and live somewhere else. May I suggest one of the bits of the south coast of Spain that the Brits have colonised? Fish and chips and Tetleys on tap, and you don't even have to learn the language...!!!

That's right. Remember Ian Mohammed Huntley who murdered Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.

And Reginald Abdul White, Bristol taxi driver convicted of assaulting disabled female passengers in his cab in 2008.

They're to blame for everything they are.

these white racist bigots will never comment about their own lowlife scums because they like to think they are sooo holier then thou .
Or maybe it’s a case of

Just a thought….
by all means comment on scums,but why the frenzy when they happen to be Asians and total silence when they are white? the words TWO FACED and HYPOCRITES come to mind.

The biggest problem in my eyes is the reluctance to call these kind of attacks racist.

I believe there is good and bad in all cultures but by stoking the fire and not saying what kind of attack it is, is only breeding hatred. If it was 9 white males dragging 1 asian man off his bike it would be reported as racist but not the other way round.

Tell things the way they are and stop believing that 1 culture deserves to know the truth and the other doesn't.

This story is almost a carbon copy of the one with the 2-3 young lads a week or so ago. Another asian gang attacking white people in Witton Park (or the same one doing it again). Beating up someone with learning difficulties as well, what kind of scum are these people? That person probably has a tough life dealing with his problems and enjoying the park is one of the few good things about it, until the racist thugs took over of course. I say that because they appear to be half motivated by racism and half motivated by theft. Of course the first element always gets ignored when its against white people.

You must have been watching the BBC news,quote, the rioters in London came from all ethnic backgrounds" Fact, there was a sprinkling of white trash the overwhelming majority were blacks who rioted do to a black drug dealer who was armed being quite rightly shot by the police. The population of London is around nine million although blacks only represent around 9% of this total they are responsible for 70% of violent crime frightening statistic isn't it. crime is a race issue as immigrants and children of immigrants are responsible for most of it. You mention crimewatch in your post i don't watch the program often though i did catch the last 20 minutes a few weeks ago they had a rogues gallery 4 photographs on a poster i couldn't help but notice 3 of them were Asian!

Yet again, somebody with a different story. Do you think people make up their bad experiences at the hands of your asian overlords just to comment on here or do you think that people have genuine concerns about the smoke screen created by the government, delivered by the press and swallowed by the likes of you when we are told that everything is happy in multi-cultural land.

Also, how can you call this free speech when comments are removed for dispelling said smoke screen; comments which are based on facts that the editor/moderator are reluctant to publish.

Finally, to use your example of the southern coast of Spain.

Your example is correct. It is wrong for a culture to set up in isolated pockets within another country and make it their own, whether it is the Costa del Sol or Blackburn, Burnley or Bradford.

What really screws up your argument is that the Brits move their for a better life, yet insist on calling the UK ‘home’, visit ‘home’ regularly, and most importantly, still support England football and cricket teams.

Just like the Pakistani/Bangladesh
i/Indian communities.

I rest my case.

“And there will be far more stories of crimes being committed by the indigenous population”

Well duh!

According to 2009 government statistics, 75% of the population is white and 20% is asian or asian British.

Therefore there are going to be Three times as many criminal acts committed by a white person than an asian.

In England it is 82% to 6% respectively, yet the Prison Population does not reflect this.

Realistically though, if the guy on the bike was asian, would he have been attacked?
If the hippy/rocker outside college had been asian, would he have been attacked?

Lets stop pretending their is an elephant in the room and admit there is a problem, whether it is perceived or real.

These mindless idiots need locking up. I do not believe this to be a racist attack but rather a cowardly , financially motivated one to relieve this gentleman of his possesions. The majority of asians in blackburn are fine upstanding members of there communities and will be absolutely appalled by this, so i think it is wrong to paint all asians with the same brush as these cowards. I am asian and if I had witnessed this I would be damned if I would have let these idiots get away with it. This type of crime can occurr in many parts of England in black, asian, white or any other community. If a young asian lad was to walk through highercroft with an expensive mountain bike, an iphone in his hand and a gold chain round his neck everyday for a week the chances of him getting mugged by the 4th day are very high you only have to drive through highercroft past gangs of white youths before they start shouting racist remarks. Mindless youths exist in all communities thats all Im saying
