The teenager, who cannot be named at this time, was getting off a bus in the town of St Andrews in Scotland on 27 October when he was jumped from behind.
He was called anti-gay slurs on the bus, resulting in his decision to depart and avoid the harassment. The strangers punched and kicked the boy to the ground after following him, according to the victim’s mother.
She told The Courier: “There were three of them, they attacked him from behind, he fell on the ground and hit his head. “They punched him in the face and started kicking him on the ground.” He fortunately did not require medical treatment for his injuries, but is now suffering emotionally as a result of the seemingly prejudiced crime. “It’s really upsetting,” his mother added,
