Blind pensioner beaten with stick
Merseyside Police are hunting two men who attacked a pensioner with his own walking stick, in what they believe was a racist attack. The 71-year-old Asian man, who is registered blind, had just left the Shahjalal Mosque on Borough Road, Birkenhead, when his attackers struck. He was punched in the face and beaten unconscious by two white men who had stepped out from a bus stop.
