JAKARTA - The music that Kaspian Oaken listened to, 39, made his trip to Syahdu's house. But there was a lot of noise. Kaspian is already battered down on the asphalt.

The unidentified man or OTK is wearing a gray head jacket without warning beating Kaspian on Barry's residential road, Wales.

Kaspian suffered from a brain hemorrhage (subdural hematoma), a skull fracture, a damaged eye cavity, and severe bruises that left his face battered.

"It was really, really scary... I just walked while thinking about my own business while lowering my head. He just came to my head and started hitting my face. After hitting me several times, I fell to the ground and he ran away," he said, quoted from Metro.co.uk, Sunday 16 February.

Kaspian said he did not reply to the repeated punches he received. He could only wake up from fainting and try to get into the crowd of shops along Court Road.

"I managed to get up and then panicked because my body was covered in blood. I walked a little until I fell limp and fell. I don't know why I couldn't move my legs. I just had to sit there," continued Kaspian.

Kaspian believes that the rainbow-colored bracelet strap Apple Watch LGBTQ + Pride he wore was a strong reason for him to be the victim of the attack on February 1.

However, the police have not been able to provide an official statement whether this incident was true due to hatred for LGBT.

Hate for LGBT in the United Kingdom is known to have increased by 112 percent in the last five years. At the end of March 2024, 22,839 cases of crime involved a person's sexual orientation, and 4,780 cases related to transphobics.
