He was left for dead on the pavement before the police was called six hours later. The police station was 2 minutes away. I met B.S. whilst receiving treatment from an NGO in Athens for anxiety and stress disorder. His well-being has been negatively affected following the atrocious attack. It happened one evening around 9pm while B. was descending from a bus. He had been all day at a hospital because his child was ill and had just taken relief from his wife who remained behind with their child. Suddenly, as he was leaving the bus he heard people behind him shouting 'Malaka...' and immediately after someone started to slap him. He asked 'Why?' but they carried on attacking him. This time throwing him back and forth like a football ball. Then a knife was taken out and he was knifed. He collapsed. When he woke up he was in a hospital. He asked who brought him there? Someone answered the police. He cried.

I answered why was he asking that.  I am not obliged to give you my details unless you suspect me of a crime. Most black people unfortunately don't know their rights. Anyhow, the police said that a woman had escaped the psychiatric ward and that I fitted the description. I asked in what way I did. On what account, is that because the woman is black? I am walking with my two year old, did this woman escaped with a child? How can I possible fit into that description. It sounds like you are using your power to gather information from me. He left.
