SINGAPORE – London’s Metropolitan Police have released images of four men who allegedly assaulted Singaporean student Jonathan Mok in a coronavirus-related racist attack on Feb 24.
The police have yet to make any arrests, but said in a statement on Wednesday (March 4) that they are trying to identify and speak to the four men pictured.
Detective Sergeant Emma Kirby, the officer on the case, said she and her team are “committed to finding the perpetrators” as “there’s no room on our streets for this kind of violent behaviour”.
Mr Mok, 23, had opened up about the attack, which took place in Oxford Street near the London Underground’s Tottenham Court Road train station at around 9.15pm, on Tuesday on Facebook.
The Singapore law student at University College London said he heard a group of young people say “coronavirus” as he walked past them.
When he turned around to face the group, he was punched in the face, with one of the suspects saying I don’t want your coronavirus in my country” before the group fled.
