A Polish man was beaten up over the weekend in Leeds, Yorkshire, in the 18th attack on the Polish community on the British isles since the Brexit referendum.
The latest attack happened on Friday night, but was not reported until Sunday.
A group of 30 youths attacked two men, and severely beat up one of the them, in the district of Armley in the west of Leeds.
Local media reported that the man is still being treated in hospital but his injuries are not life threatening.
Interior Minister Mariusz Błaszczak told Poland’s TVP broadcaster that British police detained one man as part of the investigation, and is looking for more information that will help determine the exact course of events.
Police are treating the attack as a xenophobic crime.

There's a heck of a lot more Muslims in the UK than Poles; when these attacks are carried out by YOBs, Youth of Britain, which is what I've seen so far; I wonder a bit about whom is doing this. Nonetheless, I"m sure the UK has plenty of so-called "hate crimes" against Muslims; but usually I don't hear about them being "beat up".
