Birmingham: boy attacked for 20p
artdoc July=1991

A black teenager was viciously attacked by two white youths
after he refused to hand over 20p.
Augustus Stewart, 13, was jumped while riding his bike
outside his grandmother's home in Edgbaston, West Midlands.
When Agustus told his attackers he would not hand over his
money, they dragged him off his bike, tied him up and beat
him. Since the attack, Agustus has been in hospital
undergoing tests. (Voice 29.1.91)
