I lol at the title and then when i saw the video i realised it's the lad who was on the morning news show i watch last week and he suffers bad anxiety since. The culprit has not been caught yet.

A man whose jaw was broken in a random attack by a stranger said today he was targeted for having ginger hair.
Alex Kosuth-Phillips, 23, who was celebrating his birthday with his girlfriend, had to have surgery and metal plates inserted into his jaw following the assault in Selly Oak, Birmingham.
Today he claimed that his attacker, who approached him in a pizza restaurant, swore at him and called him a 'ginger p****' before punching him in the face.

The sales assistant from Chester, who was visiting his student girlfriend in Birmingham when he was attacked on February 25 last year, had to live off coleslaw and mashed potato for three months and lost two stone.
He said: 'I had been out celebrating my birthday with my girlfriend, and we went into the shop to order a pizza.
'All I remember is walking into the pizza parlour and there were two of them [the attacker and his friend] sat on the left hand side.

'One of them said something to my girlfriend, I asked what he said and he started swearing, becoming abusive and mocking my ginger hair.'
'He swore at me and called me a "ginger pr**k".'
'I said I didn't need it and I was leaving. All I remember was opening the door and the next thing I knew I was in hospital, where I had to have two lots of surgery.

Mr Kosuth-Phillips had spent the evening at the Gatecrasher nightclub in Birmingham city centre before stopping for pizza with his girlfriend at around 1am.
This week he watched footage of the attack for the first time, and said: 'I had not been allowed to see the CCTV of the attack until last week and it was a bit hard-hitting.
'It's the first time that I have seen both of my parents cry. It was traumatic at the time and it's traumatic now.
'I walked out of the takeaway, to try to defuse the situation, but I saw him following me out of the corner of my eye.
'He punched me and I fell to the floor. The next thing I remember was waking up in hospital.

I am, but even I thought it was out of order!

I just can't concentrate on anything but the attackers shirt. I would never let a mate leave the house dressed like that

I just read the article kell posted. The attacker verbally abused his GF first and he decides to walk out the door leaving her in there alone with them!! Wtf!!

Proof positive that gingers are soulless. How awkward would the next date be
