London:
The son of a British lawmaker was viciously beaten up and left unconscious allegedly by a 'girl gang' at a KFC restaurant in central London.
Tom Borwick, the son of Victoria Borwick, was attacked alongside his girlfriend as they queued at the KFC restaurant in Leicester Square here yesterday.
He told police the women launched an unprovoked attack on him and his 28-year-old girlfriend after he got his food in the chicken shop, The Telegraph reported.
His mother, MP for Kensington and until recently Boris Johnson's deputy, called for more 'safe havens' to be set up after the guards pushed her son out of the restaurant.
Tom, whose father is the Conservative peer Lord Jamie Borwick, was also refused help by bouncers at the nearby Grosvenor Casino.
The Metropolitan Police released images of two women they want to question in connection with the attack that hospitalised the MP's son.
The 27-year-old computer app writer, was queueing with friends when they became embroiled in a row with three women who had been complaining about a lack of space.
He suffered heart palpitations as he tried to protect his girlfriend but collapsed to the ground where he was kicked and punched in the head.
"Our security guards stepped in to break-up the altercation in the restaurant, which unfortunately then continued outside, a KFC spokesperson said.
"We are extremely sorry for what happened to the customer and we have been in contact with him to explain how we are investigating the matter," he added.
He also said, "Since the incident, we have met with the police along with our security partners and as a result we have updated our policy so that our security personnel are better equipped to deal with cases where there is deemed a risk to an individual outside the restaurant".
