Man attacked with hammer outside of London mosque hours after New Zealand shooting

A man was reportedly attacked with a hammer outside a mosque in London just hours after a deadly attack on two mosques in New Zealand.

British news outlet The Independent reported three men shouted Islamophobic slurs as they drove past a mosque in East London, calling worshippers terrorists.

When people chased after the car, the men exited and attacked a man with a weapon reported to be a hammer.

Police confirmed to the news outlet that a 27-year-old victim of the attack suffered head injuries.

A fight between the two groups ensued before the car sped off.

"The suspects returned to their car and left the scene before police arrived," a spokesperson for London's Metropolitan Police told the news outlet.

Police said the suspects were described as white men in their twenties.

The man who was attacked was driven to the hospital but was not treated for his injuries as he was combative with staff.

"However, he was abusive towards hospital staff, and left the hospital without being treated,” police said. “Investigations are ongoing and officers have not identified any motive for the attack."

Mosques around the world were on high alert Friday with extra security following a deadly attack in New Zealand on two mosques that left at least 49 people dead.

WTF is an islamophobic slur?!?!

What is it when you call white people or Christians horrible names?!!?

Or call the POTUS a mother####er like that black slob politician did? Forget the name.

Islamophobic.

The press can go screw themselves.

Has flame now been lit, or is that just one copycat?
I’m not for any innocent person being hit with a hammer, but this might be a form of cultural pushback.
London has changed very fast over the last 10 years.
Not everyone is on board with the new immigrants.
The native’s opinion was usually not considered.

It’s just sickening.

But ALL of it never really moves the President’s approval numbers down so that’s a good thing.

The people in the car called them terrorists and to prove that they were actually peace loving and not terrorists they chased after the car?

Rule: The use of phobic in any MSM sentence indicates that they have no argument and must fall back to use of a word which they obviously do not understand.

Eric Richley could not make a sarcastic joke nor could he compose a sternly worded post.

Who would have guessed that people might take offense to a thirty-year rampage of unprovoked mass killing?

Ya know I was thinking the exact same thing! Phobias are irrational fears.. A slur is not a freakin’ phobia!
