Unfortunately, this is the first time we knew it was 'repeatedly'.....
What difference does it make how many times he was punched?

Try it sometimes - you will find it makes a difference....

Also, in law, the difference is between Common Assault and Actual Bodily Harm / Grievous Bodily Harm (depending on the injuries caused - repeated punches are more likely to cause more injuries....).

The link below from Mr Angry confirms that at least one victim will be going for compensation; not that I blame them for doing so.

Regardless of any technical differences, my comment stems from my belief that an assault is assault as far as i'm concerned and the black man and his partner were barred and ordered off the premises after the police had finished with them.

The victim had already been taken away in an ambulance.

What happens now is down to the CPS. I would assume that the police will want to speak to any support workers of the disabled victim.

In the past blacks were badly spoken to. Thankfully not many people of sound mind would now make openly racist comments, but we have now got to the stage where this black customer felt vidicated and confident enough to physically attack a disabled man in public with a plethora of CCTV cameras present.

A classic case of the pendulum swinging too far.
