Leeds homeless man 'urinated on by laughing students' who called him a 'tramp'

A Leeds homeless man has spoken out about his harrowing life, revealing how he's “spat on, kicked and punched" by passers-by and even "urinated on by students”.

Gary Horton, 41, says the students were laughing at him and calling him a "tramp". He said he felt "more upset than angry".

Gary is "embarrassed and ashamed" of his predicament, ever since he became homeless three years ago. He “lost everything” from his life in Cookridge where he worked as a builder.
