A gay man was hospitalised after experiencing a violent homophobic attack in Manchester. In the early hours of 10 April, Morgan Fevre was on his way from a night out with friends.
While walking on Charlotte street, the 22-year-old was approached by an unidentified man – who was asking for a cigarette. The individual then proceeded to spew insults about his jacket and sexuality before he physically assaulted him.
The horrific attack left Morgan with a bleed on the brain, three broken teeth, and a fractured cheekbone and eye socket. He has since undergone surgery for his injuries, including a life-saving craniotomy.
In an interview with the Evening Standard, Morgan’s father, Paul Fevre, gave further insight into the aftermath of his son’s attack. “We saw Morgan laid there it was absolutely heartbreaking – tubes everywhere, wires everywhere.
