A young black
man is fortunate to be alive after he was badly injured in a hit and run crash.
The
19-year-old man, who works at Southmead Hospital in the UK, was on his way back
from work on July 22 when a car being driven along Monks Park Avenue ran him
over in what friends and eye witnesses say was a racially motivated attack.
Friends also
claim that the occupants of the car screamed “fu**ing ni**er” as they ran him
into a wall, breaking his bones.
Police have
now confirmed that it was a deliberate act and was racially motivated.
Detectives
have stepped up their investigation into what happened and are now treating the
incident as a racially aggravated assault.
A friend who
shared a photo of the injured man after the attack wrote on Facebook: “A friend
and colleague of mine suffered a serious racial hate crime last Wednesday 22nd
July 2020 as he was coming out of work at 4pm from #SouthmeadHospital.
“He is a
alive thank God, but the damage done to the young 19 year old is already too
much to bear when you consider they ran him over into a wall breaking bones in
his legs and cheek bones all because he is Black.
“The
perpetrators could be heard screaming “F****** NIGGA” by at least 15
eyewitnesses as they ditched the car running off leaving him to fight for his
life.
“This is the
fight we are fighting when we say #blacklivesmatter #BLM #timeforchange not for
any Marxist movement but for our sons and daughters, so for anyone who feels to
tell me all lives matter please don’t bother ever talking to me as you’re
missing the point of all this. Its so bad that we are having to deal with this
in 2020. I now can’t even let my kids play outside because the risk of someone
actually driving towards them because they are black is to high or just
attacking them in broad day light.
Let’s stop the hate and now feel empathy.
“This is
terrorism of the highest order but because these criminals are white and not
Islamic so its not reported as such. That in its own right is a sign of racial
bias.
“So my White
Christian brothers and Sisters please the next time you think about standing
against #BLM based on the secondary issues they stand for instead of the
primary ones remember you’re being part of the problem. Just saying.
“Your kids
don’t have to walk in fear of such terrors and neither do you. Spiritual issues
these are yes from a church perspective, but in the wider community people are
suffering and the church’s solution is to fight the one organisation that is
standing up for the rights of the victims whilst not standing up loud enough
for the victims itself. You see the problem here.
“I will end
it there and let the picture below speak to you next time any of my white
friends wants to say i have suffered racism as well.”
