A man who moved to Manchester for its 'inclusivity' was viciously attacked in the city centre and left for dead in what police are treating as a homophobic assault.
Morgan Fevre, 22, was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary then transferred to Salford Royal Hospital for emergency surgery to save his life.
He suffered a bleed to the brain as well as a severely fractured cheekbone and eye socket. His family and partner, after speaking to Morgan, have given the Manchester Evening News permission to publish shocking images they have posted on social media showing the extent of his injuries in hospital.
He was also left with three broken teeth and a badly broken nose, which was fractured in four places. Morgan's father, Paul Fevre, said his son was approached by a man who made mocking comments about an item of clothing he was wearing.
