Man taped being mugged by rioters recovers in hospital

A YOUNG man seen in a distressing video being beaten and mugged — and becoming one of the most arresting images of the disturbances so far — is recovering in hospital with a broken jaw.

Asyraf Haziq’s attack was captured on video and has been broadcast on news stations across the world.

The 20-year-old from Malaysia was studying at Kaplan International College and was being treated at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel, where he is to have an operation for a broken jaw. He also suffered broken teeth.
