Underground assault
A mob of 30 skinheads viciously attacked 10 coloured youths in a London underground station at night, to cries of: “This’ll teach you to keep away from white girls.” Brandishing axes, cat starting-handles, bottles and bicycle chains, they battered the youths for 15 minutes in the booking hall of the South Harrow Station. Three youths arrested in connection with the incident will appear in court today. The remainder escaped by boarding a train. London, Novembei 20.
