Jamaican-born Deacon allegedly attacked, spat on in the UK because of his skin colour
An elderly Jamaican born church deacon claims he was the victim of a disturbing attack in the UK because of his skin colour.
75 year old Winston Powell told the Nottingham Post that he was standing at his local post office in Hyson Green when a man approached him, punched him in the eye and spat in his face before verbally abusing him over his skin colour.
Powell who is a father of five, a grandfather-of-12 and great-grandfather-of-four, also told the Nottingham Post :
“I was shocked. It was definitely a racist attack. I didn’t think these things still happened in Nottingham.”
Mr Powell, a deacon at the Church of God Assembly in The Meadows, reported the incident to police and officers are investigating.
He and his family have spoken out in hope of finding the attacker, described as being a white male aged between 50 to 60.
He said his alleged attacker fled after a member of staff told him to get out.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokeswoman said: “CCTV is being collected at the moment as part of the investigation.”

This tell us that as a people we still have to be fighting tooth and nail for our rightful place in this world that we all should live and share.I know God never leave his flock unprotected so this man must be found and brought to justice. YOU WAS A SACRIFICIAL LAMB TO BRING FORTH ANOTHER CHAPTER.
It is so sad after all the fights for racial equality we as black people still have to go through this. I do hope they find him.
