UK police questioned six people Sunday in a vicious attack on a teenage asylum-seeker in the London borough of Croydon.
Authorities have arrested four men and two women, all in their 20s, on charges of attempted murder in the attack that left a 17-year old Kurdish-Iranian hospitalized with a fractured skull and a blood clot on his brain.
Police say eight youths approached the teen at a bus stop Friday night. Upon learning he was an asylum-seeker, they chased him through the streets and beat him. The attack only stopped after bystanders intervened and police sirens could be heard.
Residents told Press Association they saw far more people involved in the attack and saw many more watching as the teen was beaten.
