“This was also helped by the quick thinking of a man who was in the Purple Diamond.

“He followed the attacker, so the police could arrest him. I don’t know who this man is, but I’d just like him to know that because of him, we’re not worrying that this attacker is still out on the streets. Thank you.

“The ambulance also reached my son in record time, so he was treated quickly.

“I would also like to thank the incredible staff of Purple Diamond for your help and kindness.”

She added: “My son will physically recover but this trauma will stay with him forever.”
