<b> The comments by Dave and Helen are beyond belief. Unless they know who did this attack why are they assuming there was more than one. Also there is a one sided report here and as the attacker/s have yet to put their side across then how do we know it was unproveked. There may be someone out there with a knife or gun wound that acted in self defense or maybe the person that was attacked is a child molester or worse. Know the FACTS before commenting please.</b>

DC Wiseman did say it was an unprovaked attack but he has only got one side of the story. If they make an arrest and the person is then convicted you can all comment with All the information so until then keep your biased comments to yourself.
