Tottenham community holds anti-racist vigil after stabbing

MEMBERS of a north London community shaken by a stabbing during a fascist gang attack gathered yesterday for an anti-racist vigil. 

The diverse community came together in Tottenham’s Markfield Park — the site of a neonazi gang attack on a free music event on Saturday. 

The defiant response was organised by Unite Against Fascism in the wake of violence that saw a 24-year-old Polish man hospitalised with knife wounds. 

The man was discharged with superficial injuries on Sunday. Haringey CID officers are hunting for his attacker. 

Haringey TUC reported that Polish community leaders had told the small fascist group to stop holding regular drinking sessions in the park.

Bottles, rocks, flares and punches were exchanged as partygoers fought off the attack on the community event with children in attendance. 

Police confirmed yesterday that a second member of the Zjednoczeni Emigranci group of Polish football hooligans had been arrested for racially aggravated common assault.
