A former Lord Mayor of Dublin has told how he and his son had to fight for their lives – after they were attacked by a racist mob in a London hotel.
Councillor Nial Ring and his son Emmet were attacked by a gang in the lobby of their hotel in the city on Tuesday night - as they returned from watching Chelsea beat Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League knockout stage.
Mr Ring was knocked to the ground when a thug hit him on the head with a bottle – but the local politician says he had to get straight back up and fight for his life.
