Of all the disturbing images of the riots, the one that affected me most was the sight of a young lad with a pool of blood being cared for by youths who then proceeded to mug him from his bag on his back. It was a sickening sight.

It was gratifying to hear that the police have identified at least one of his muggers, and the lad was on TV tonight with a smile on his face and recovering in hospital. He is a Malaysian student and the Malaysian embassy are looking after him.
