Get started freeGopri, what did he say?Did he...Did he...
Was he abusive?The police need a report, come here.Yeah, he was.So, basically, he's come to my brother...What did he say?
Yeah.
Do you want to speak to my brother?
No, you carry on.He stumbled into him, and then what did he do?
So he stumbled into you, and then what?And then what?He goes, who do you think you are, who do you think you are, to my brother, and then what?
And then he goes, oh, oh, you're this, you're that, do you think you're a bad man?
I was like, yeah, I'm a bad man, I was.Then he starts recording me.As he's recording me, I'll snatch his phone.He's then laid a punch onto me.He's pushed me back and my turbans come off.He started then grabbing my head.
So I then grabbed him and then he started pushing me, attacking me even further and everything like that.At the minute, now he's lying on the floor.He was trying to get away.He jumped over some bins and stuff.On the other neighbour's side, he jumped over the bins and tried to leave through the bin way.He's left his shoe here as well.
So he doesn't have any injuries?
He's hurt his face.I think he's fallen because when he tried to climb over the bin, he fell and he's fallen from the one side of the bin over the gates to the other side.
I think he needs medical attention.
Does he need medical attention, you reckon?He will, yeah, I believe, yeah.
Just to confirm, no -one's seen any weapons?
No, no.I don't know what weapons it would be.This is my car key, yeah.Okay.
He keeps dropping side to side, so I'm just trying to keep him set up.
He's got a mouth full of blood, I don't want him...He's jumped over these fences and stuff like that.
And he's up here, he's obviously, he's fallen from there and he's slipped from there.

Yeah, me.He's grabbed my brother, he's took my turban off, started grabbing my head.
Are you injured?
Yeah, yeah, I've got...
Alright, just step back a little bit for me.Someone flag these down.Right, let's get you out of there, shall we?Grab his other arm.What's happened to you, alright?You been stabbed?
Whereabouts?Don't think you have, mate.Hand.Put the hand in the cuff mate.He's saying he's been stabbed, so let's just check him.Where do you think he's been stabbed?
In the face?Oh no, but we have to check, don't we?In the face?
Just get these back off, get their details on that and I'll keep hold of him.Right, keep you on your side, mate.You'll be able to retrieve them.Same to him, keeping him on his side.We were sad when we had him in, but he didn't like it.What's your name, mate?
By the moment you are under arrest, that's for assault, so you do not have to say anything that may harm the defence.If you do not make your name questioned, it's up to you to later rely on the court.Anything you do say may be given in evidence, alright?It's gonna be sick, I think.I just want you to call it.
Yeah, we've got this male, he's just been beat up.Are we able to get an ambulance?
Pupils aren't even reacting.
What happened on that night in Southampton perhaps shouldn't be a surprise in two -tier Britain.Think of this, the biggest fear a police officer now has going about his or her duty on the street is the fear of being reported for having acted in a way that was racially biased.That fear, now greater thandealing with a dying man living on the ground.Henry's family have responded to this in just the most extraordinarily dignified way.But I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure, cold rage.
This is wrong.all the values and standards of living in a free country where everybody is judged equally before the law have been trashed and thrown away.And there are one or two things that need to happen very quickly.The first is that the police complaints operation, the IOPC, needs to get to the bottom of this and produce a report very, very quickly.Secondly, even through the sentencing, the sentence given was actually lower than the recommended minimum for a sustained, aggressive, murderous assault.And I'll be writing today to the Attorney General, asking him to review the sentence.
But the most important thing that needs to change, that has to change, if our society is not to be ripped apart, where communities start to distrust each other, and deeply distrust the police and all the other institutions of this country, is we need a change in culture.Enough of anti -white prejudice.A promotion of the idea that white lives matter just as much as black lives.
This is not a case about Sikhism.It's not a case about racism.This is a case about murder.Paul should not be able to walk openly through the streets of Britain carrying a 21 centimetre blade.Finally, I want Henry to know, wherever he is, we are so proud of him.We love him beyond words.
Thank you.
