A gang of wild teenage girls allegedly launched a savage attack on a restaurant owner after he refused to let them use the bog.
Muhammed Islam, owner of restaurant Passage to India in Barnham West Sussex said he was attacked by the menacing girls as he tried to tell them the business’ loos were for paying customers only.
The 64-year-old was allegedly punched and kicked several time in the head and shoulders in blows so brutal they drew blood.

Islam said in his 35 years of running his business, he’s “never had anything like this happen before”.
He added: “The first girl came in and said she was using the toilet and there was nothing anybody could do about it.
“She was saying to herself, ‘I’m 16 and you can’t touch me.’
“When she came back later with a group, I tried to explain to them they are not public toilets.
“That’s when I was punched.

Islam and his staff wrangled the unruly kids out of the restaurant and held the doors closed as they began to smash the window up.
Sussex Police said they launched an investigation following the attack. A 14-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl from Yapton, West Sussex, were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and released on bail pending further enquiries.
The attack comes as the feral youths wreak havoc across the village, leaving residents too terrified to leave their home.
It’s believed the out-of-control teens are behind a growing crimewave ripping through the town, with violence and shoplifting becoming so frequent, businesses are now hiring security to protect themselves.
Locals said they felt they had become hostages to the feral teenagers at a village meeting, which was triggered by an attack on Barnham train station staff during the Easter holidays.
Islam said: “The politicians need to take this seriously.
“I’m aware of what’s been going on in Barnham and I’m hopeful, but this is a serious issue. It’s reached a limit in Barnham now.
“We see a lot more activity from the police now, but if the politicians treated this as a serious matter then there is a way to find a solution.”
