The 39-year-old is struggling to walk after suffering a dislocated shoulder, a rotated calf, and serious bruising in the 4am attack in West Street, Brighton, last month. Mr Kokkinos said: “They were like animals laughing.
“I heard one of them say ‘he’s a f***ing foreigner get him down’ I was begging them to leave me alone but they kept going until I fell unconscious.”
