Eighteen year old Shah Mohammad Ruhul Alam was fighting for his life after being stabbed by a gang of ten white youths in a racist attack in Poplar, Tower Hamlets, east London. The stabbing, which took place at the end of May, is one of a spate of racist attacks that have centred on the Poplar Recreation Ground since the British National Party lost their only councillor in the by-election in Tower Hamlets in May. One man has been charged in connection with the attack.

Limehouse police district, where the attack took place, recorded 858 racist incidents during 1992, almost doubling the figure for the previous year. It is widely accepted that recorded attacks reflect only a small percentage of actual attacks and the Newham Monitoring Project warned that the figures represent only the tip of the iceberg.
