A man was savagely beaten for wearing a German football shirt while out drinking in Borehamwood on Friday morning.

At around 12.25am the 37-year-old was waiting at the ABA Diamond taxi office in Shenley Road with two friends from Shenley, when he was attacked by a group of four thugs. He was punched and kicked, and his friends were also hurt in the fight. They were treated at Barnet Hospital and released later that day.
