An Asian man is fighting for his life in hospital after being struck with a blunt instrument in what police are treating as a racially-motivated attack.

Kadil Ahmed, 60, was assaulted last night outside a takeaway restaurant in Field End Road, Harrow, north-west London.

At about 10pm, there was a large group of up to 20 people on the pavement, a Scotland Yard spokesman said. It is understood eggs were thrown.

An altercation involving the victim and a white youth took place, in which the victim suffered head injuries as a result of being hit with some sort of blunt instrument.

The victim, who lives nearby, was taken to a central London hospital where his condition is understood to be critical.

A 19-year-old man was arrested at the scene in connection with the assault and is in custody at a north west London police station.

The Yard spokesman said the incident was being treated as racially-motivated at this stage because the suspect was white as were most of the people in the group on the pavement.
