Kai said he and his sister were left injured after an attack by a group of teenagers outside a local pub in Duncroft on Tuesday night.

"As soon as we went over and she asked again, that's when we got attacked. I got smacked to the left eye and right upper eye, on the back of my head, bruised right and left rib, split nose and split lip."

Kai's sister got hit on the neck and injured her lips, and the attack was caught on his camera.

The faces of the attackers cannot be seen but one can be heard shouting, ‘What the f*** are you filming?’

He said the whole incident has left him and his sister 'shaken', but at the same time he wanted to highlight the fact that parents play an important role in educating their children.

He said: "Now I feel like I don't want to go to local shops on my own because of what happened.

"We live in a world where anyone can live no matter race, sexuality or gender identity. Parents need to be teaching their children what is right and what is wrong.

"I only can forward as it may happen to someone else but could result in bigger injuries."
