LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS — An unidentified trans woman waiting at a bus stop in the Newham area of London was violently assaulted by a man who got out of his car and walked up to her. The attacker was urged on by the car’s other occupants who were shouting “kill him, kill him,” the victim told police.

The attack happened late at night May 16th and was reported in the UK news media today. Police still do not have suspect in custody and are now asking for help from the public.

Detective Constable Ben Rouse according to London 24: “This was an unprovoked attack. This suspect is clearly willing to use violence against innocent members of the community.”

I was unable to gather further details on the incident, including information of the victim’s condition other than a broken nose.
