Man fighting for his life after being attacked by a group of men in Bearwood. A racist attack?

The short story in the Birmingham mail doesn't mention the race of the man who is fighting for his life, or the race of the attackers. Bearwood is a predominantly Asian (Muslim) area of Birmingham. The man and his girlfriend were attacked at a petrol station.

As the couple were attacked by a group of men it is likely the attackers were Pakistani Muslims. Anyone who has grown up in a Pakistani area will know that attacking 'in a pack' is something Pakistanis are well known for.We will have to wait to find out more.
