A mum has told how a padded jacket saved her son’s life after two thugs jumped him in a shocking unprovoked attack.
Lewis McGinty, 21, was walking his girlfriend’s dog in Alexandria, near his home, on Sunday night when the men jumped him.
He managed to flee and escaped with only scratches which mum Michelle McGinty was only thanks to the thick padded jacket he was wearing, which was slashed during the attack.
