- *This is a shortened version of the original report
On the way home from work and evening Prayers, 25 year old Bangladeshi, Altab Ali was attacked in broad daylight, where he was stabbed in the neck, within two hours of this unprovoked attack Ali was dead.
Community leaders that there have been hundreds of assaults in the last two years and the police have been ineffective to stem the flow of racist attacks. Police deny any lack of concern: They point to manpower shortages and also the unwillingness to community members to report the assaults.
7000 people marched from brick lane to Hyde Park in protest of the increase in Racist violence.

That is so sad, the school teachers had to escort the pupils home.
How terrible. It was more violent back then, I had no idea.
The killing was racist two white guys and one mixed race kill Altab Ali in the Park across the road to Brick lane.
So sad. The racism was so strong back then.
What year was this please?
Tower Hamlets has had a history of Racism 30 40 years ago with the NF AND BNP Movement and the English terrorised the Bangladeshis and racial tension was rife in this area of London and the same in other UK cities too as immigration to this day has made many in the UK very racist and angry all over the UK and the tolerance is the no better even today. Majority of English have left this part of London and hailed to Essex.
RIP Altab.
