A VULNERABLE man with autism was violently set upon by youths last week while stargazing at Lion Green.

The 21-year-old victim of the latest attack had been out for a walk on September 21 when two men approached him near the kebab van on the corner of Lion Lane and Hindhead Road.

The assailants hurled verbal abuse and threw beer over him, before following him to Lionmead where he was physically assaulted.
