Asian man targeted in south Belfast racist attack
29/03/2005 - 08:09:30An Asian man is recovering this morning after he was beaten by a three-man gang during a racist attack in south Belfast last night.
The victim was attacked at a house in Donegall Avenue shortly before midnight.
He suffered cuts to his face and eye and bruising to the rest of his body after being kicked, punched and hit with a broken bottle.
The PSNI said it was treating the attack as racist and has appealed for witnesses to come forward.
South Belfast and a number of other towns in the North experienced a spate of racist attacks last year blamed on loyalist paramilitaries, but such attacks had subsided in recent months.
