Two caged for racist violence

TWO Asian racists were jailed yesterday for a savage attack on a white man — for sitting next to them on a tram.

Jagpal Pritam, 22, and Balvinder Hunjan, 20, screamed “Asian Power!” and called Brian May, 47, a “f***ing white b*****d” as they punched and kicked him in the face.

The pair were pulled off their victim by horrified witnesses who feared they might kill him, Birmingham Crown Court heard.

Mr May suffered multiple facial injuries in the assault last August in Birmingham.
Pritam, from Wednesbury, West Midlands and Hunjan, of nearby Smethwick, admitted racially aggravated assault.
Judge Philip Gregordy locked up both for 18 months saying: “Anybody who engages in violence of this nature will go to jail.”

Later Chief Insp Allan Gregory, who headed the police investigation, said: “They behaved like animals.”
