London riots: Man charged with robbing Asyraf
A man has been charged with robbing a Malaysian student who fell victim to thieves pretending to help him during the riots in London, the Telegraph reported Saturday.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said Reece Donovan, of Milton Court, Cross Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex, had been charged with robbing Asyraf Haziq Rossli, the Telegraph reported.
Asyraf, 20, who won a scholarship to the UK to study accountancy, was rushed to hospital with a broken jaw on Monday after being set upon during London's riots less than a month after arriving in Britain.
Asyraf, who was discharged from hospital on Friday said he harboured no grudges
The attack prompted widespread anger after police said hooded youths initially pretended to help Asyraf before allegedly going through his backpack, stealing his mobile phone and wallet, in Barking, east London, on Monday night.
The incident was captured in footage recorded on a mobile phone and posted on the video website YouTube.
The footage came to define the depths stooped to by those who wreaked havoc on the capital's streets.
Asyraf was discharged from hospital on Friday and, at a press conference, said he harboured no grudges.
