Man Arrested Over 'Good Samaritan' Attack

A man has been arrested over the mugging of a Malaysian student by yobs posing as Good Samaritans - as the victim said he felt sorry for them.

In the attack which was filmed and posted online, Ashraf Haziq was seen bleeding after being punched in the jaw less than a month after arriving in Britain.
Hooded youths initially pretended to help the 20-year-old - then went through his rucksack, stealing his mobile phone and wallet.
Speaking as he met his country's ambassador, the student said he was "feeling better" after being discharged from hospital.
He said doctors had put metal in his jaw which was broken in the incident, adding "so far it is good".
Mr Haziq said he "knew people were taking things from me" but he could not do anything about it.
Mr Haziq said he "felt sorry" for those who carried out the attack, adding it was "quite shocking" how young one of them was and he thought the person was at primary school.
He also thanked those who have raised money for him, saying: "Thank you, it is very nice of you all to help me."

Mr Haziq plans to stay in Britain until he completes his studies in two years' time.
He added: "My family are worried about me and my mother would like me to go home. But I am determined to stay.
"Britain is great. Before I came here I was very eager and I haven't got any ill-feeling about what happened."
He had been helped by two girls and a woman who lived nearby following the incident, he said.
A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of robbery in connection with the attack.
David Cameron said the incident in Barking, east London on Monday night left him "disgusted".
The Prime Minister said: "When we see the disgusting sight of a young man with people pretending to help him while they are robbing him, it is clear that there are things badly wrong with our society."
Mr Haziq said he appreciated Mr Cameron's support for him but said he did not want to comment about the Prime Minister's description of a "sick society".
The cyclist, from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, earlier relived his ordeal from his hospital bed when he was visited by a friend who filmed the chat and posted it online.
"They threatened to stab me, they told me they had knives," he said in the footage, posted on YouTube.
"Some of them were quite young, maybe still in primary school. They had their hoods on and demanded my bicycle."
A hospital statement said: "Ashraf Haziq has now been discharged to continue his recuperation at home."
