A SOLDIER was attacked in an Exeter underpass by a gang who chanted “Lee Rigby” as they kicked him on the floor.
The 18-year-old, known as Alexander, has been a member of the Coldstream Guards for six months.
“They were all covered up so I couldn’t see any of their faces. They kept shouting Lee Rigby – like they wanted to re-create what happened.”
After managing to escape and run off Alex was left with a split lip, sore ribs and a swollen jaw. H was treated at the NHS Walk in Centre
He said: “I have only been in the army six months but this is the first time anything like this has happened. I was very shaken up by it but am starting to get to grips with what happened.”
Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident. A spokesman said: “The victim has described the main offender as mixed race with camouflage clothing, six foot five inches tall, heavy build, wearing a black tracksuit top and had his face covered.
“He was accompanied by seven others. Anyone who witnessed anything in the area at the time or knows who is responsible should contact police on 101 quoting reference number DE/13/7080.”
