A gay couple were assaulted verbally and physically on Christmas day, with the confrontation starting after one of them was abused for being Jewish.
Jayson Homer and his partner were in a pub in Stockton on Tees, in County Durham, when Mr Homer’s Jewish partner, who did not wish to be named, was targeted.
The victim told the local paper, Gazette Live: “At first a girl in the group started taking the mick out of me for being Jewish.
“Then another lad from the group came over saying being Jewish was a race. I was disagreeing with him and it was just a little debate really at first.
