Girl gang pounces on foreign students

7:04pm Tuesday 5th August 2008


A gang of girls attacked a pair of foreign students just days after the visitors arrived in Britain.

The German women were assaulted and shouted at by three teenage girls as they walked home.

Tonight police condemned the violent youngsters and said they were determined to catch them.

The two students were walking through the Meridian Centre in Greenwich Way, Peacehaven, when they were approached by a girl of 13 or 14 who accused them of laughing at the British girls.

One of the Germans had a hair clip pulled from her hair which was then stamped on by one of the girls.

The two students ran off but they were chased and attacked again. One of the students was kicked in the back and the other was spat at.

Police were called but the attackers had escaped by the time they arrived.

Officers say the victims have been left very shaken by the 8pm attack on July 29.

"have you actually heard how loud these students are?"

When I lived in France the loal people often remarked how loudly English visitors spoke (even to each other).

Either people visiting foreign countries increase their normal decibel level or their speech stands out because it is a foreign language,

Peacehaven, well that says it all. It full of ugly little chavs that are looking for trouble. The Meridian centre is a wretched monstrosity of a place. No wonder these girls have nothing better to do, the uneducated chavs that they are.
