Strapped to his hospital bed, this is the son of a high ranking Tory MP who was beaten unconscious by a violent girl gang after being attacked in KFC as security guards just 'looked on'.

Tom Borwick whose mother is newly elected Kensington MP Victoria Borwick, suffered repeated blows to the head as he desperately tried to protect his girlfriend.

The 27-year-old was set upon initially as he queued for food with friends before the clash with three women spilled out onto the pavement outside the eatery in London's Leicester Square and the 27-year-old was knocked out.

Last night he said the attack in London’s Leicester Square was ‘unprovoked’ and criticised security guards for failing to help.

He said: ‘At some point they started pushing and shoving – three at that stage, of which only two were particularly aggressive. I couldn’t hypothecate or guess what was on their minds. At some point my food and drink spilled and was taken from me.

‘I think they got more agitated once the food had gone everywhere and one started punching me on the body and pushing and shoving.

‘There were two guards. They weren’t wearing high-visibility attire. It was happening right in front of one.

‘His response was just to throw us outside, physically – me and the two people attacking me.

‘The rest of my friends quickly came outside. From our group absolutely all of them did nothing aggressive to the ladies, but they continued to react though and many of my friends were attacked.

‘I’m no hero. I just tried to stop them attacking everyone else.’

Mr Borwick made it next door to a casino and a roped-off area where he asked for help.

Instead he was ordered to leave and, once on the other side of the barrier, the attack continued. He added: ‘I was the other side of the barrier, where the group of people continued to attack me, and that’s when I was hit in the head and fell to the floor.

‘At some point I was unconscious. I don’t know exactly if it was the hit or the floor.

‘At some point I remember standing up again to protect my girlfriend. Then I was on the ground and they then started to kick me there.’

Mr Borwick was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital’s A&E, where he was treated for neck pain and bruising on June 27

Wanted: Police have released images of two women they want to speak to in connection with the attack at the London restaurant

Detectives have released images of two women they want to question in connection with the violent attack.

Mr Borwick's MP mother also slammed security guards who she claims failed to come to her son's aid.

The computer app writer was queuing with friends when they became embroiled in a row with the women over space.

'Tom was among a group of six friends on a night out in London,' said Lady Borwick, who was previously Boris Johnson's deputy.

'One of them was French and had just arrived from Paris. He couldn't believe what had happened.

'What shook Tom most was that somewhere like KFC you don't expect the security guards to push you out into the street. They didn't want an altercation in their store.

'It was 10pm on a Saturday night, not two in the morning in some dark alley. The place was absolutely packed. Tom and a couple of the others were in the queue, two of them went upstairs to get a table and one went outside to have a ciggie.

'They noticed these women, and Tom said something to try to lighten the mood. But he soon realised they were being pretty unfriendly.

'Then when he got his food they started attacking him for absolutely no reason. It was completely unprovoked. You bring your children up never to get involved in fights, and he was not going to hit a woman.

'There were security guards standing around doing absolutely nothing. They ignored it, even though he was being attacked.'

After being pushed onto the pavement Mr Borwick went next door to the casino, where there was a roped off area where he wanted to take refuge.

Lady Borwick said: 'He said to the bouncers ‘help me, help me, I am being attacked.’ But they turned round and said ‘we don’t want that sort of thing here.’

'So he was ejected back onto the street where the women had regrouped and carried on the attack.'

The politician's son, who has received heart surgery in the past, tried to protect a friend but collapsed to the ground suffering from palpitations where he was kicked and punched in the head.

'This is how he became unconscious and ended up in the hospital,' said Lady Borwick.

'The fact was that he couldn’t find a place of safety. This sort of thing happens all the time, I don’t want to make a fuss about this more than any other incident, it is all part of street crime. But when you go out in London you want to feel safe and you want your children to be safe.

'I have spoken to Boris and he has been very supportive, asking how Tom is and raising the issue of safe havens with the Metropolitan Commissioner at a public meeting yesterday.'

The attack left Mr Borwick unconscious and he was taken to hospital alongside his friend. They were both treated for cuts and bruises.

Lady Borwick today urged shops, bars and restaurants to sign up to the CitySafe Havens project which provide places of safety for people who feel they are in immediate danger.

Lady Borwick said: 'I have been to the funerals of young people who have been knifed in London and maybe some of these terrible tragedies could have been avoided if we had changed the mentality. It is about people stepping up to the plate. We are all in this together.”

She added: 'After the success of the London Olympics, Londoners and tourists alike have got to feel there is somewhere safe to go.'

KFC have apologised for what happened to Mr Borwick at their restaurant and have launched an investigation into the incident.

A spokesman said: ' Since the incident, we have met with the Police along with our security partners and as a result we have updated our policy so that our security personnel are better equipped to deal with cases where there is deemed a risk to an individual outside the restaurant.'

Scotland Yard has released CCTV images of two of the women involved in the attack on Tom and his unnamed girlfriend at 9.45pm on June 27.

They said in a statement: 'One of the females punched the man in the head numerous times. Both parties were then removed by security from the premises.

'As the male victim was recovering from the assault, the suspects came back several minutes later and continued the altercation on the pavement outside. They pushed the female on the ground and the man tried to defend her. He was then pushed and fell unconscious.

'The females then kicked him while he was on the floor and fled before police arrived. Both victims suffered minor injuries and attended hospital later.'

All three are black females aged in their 20s or 30s. One was wearing black clothing and one was wearing a royal blue dress.

The third female was wearing a white dress. Anyone with information is asked to call 0207 321 7624 or the police non-emergency line on 101.
