Locals in Belfast have told reporters that the man attacked last night is classed as an extremely vulnerable adult who is severely hard of hearing.
He would not have heard his attacker approaching him.
He never stood a chance.
It is now believed he has lost his vision and will be permanently disfigured for the rest of his life.
Neighbours describe him as well liked and cared for by his entire community because of his vulnerability. A gentle man. A man who wouldn't harm a fly.
And this is who they chose to attack.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family tonight. I cannot imagine what they are going through right now.
This is absolutely devastating. And it is becoming more and more outrageous by the hour.
Patriots - if you are protesting tonight, in Belfast or elsewhere, do NOT give Starmer what he wants.
Stay calm. Keep your heads. Do NOT attack the police.
The state will show you no mercy.
The dangerous ‘far-right’ will be blamed, and your life will be ruined forever.
It will be that brutal. However angry you are feeling now, it is not worth it.
Protest - but do it loudly, do it peacefully.
If the police are being aggressive, record it. Film it. Do not react. Because you will not be shown the same leniency as the officers. You will be charged, you will be sentenced, you will be imprisoned.
We’re all angry.
But you will achieve far more for our cause and country OUTSIDE of prison.

Share the brilliant news!
I want to be really clear about what our aim is following yesterday’s historic victory.
Win the next general election, and I have never been more confident we are going to do exactly that.
What happening in Great Yarmouth was seismic.
Turnout soared. We brought thousands of people to the polling station who have never voted before. We got more votes in this local election than I received in the general election.
The implications of it all must not be underestimated.
Despite everything Reform threw at us, we decimated them in every single seat. Farage said we wouldn't win one percent. He was right. We won almost fifty.
The nine wards across Great Yarmouth are so varied. From Winterton in the rural north, to the urban centre of Great Yarmouth itself.
We won the nine seats, and the borough council by election, but within those wider seats we won every single ward by a mile.
If we can win in every one of those areas, we can win anywhere.
As I promised, we are going to give the British people a genuine alternative - we are going to provide an option to elect people from outside the rotten political establishment.
We did that in Great Yarmouth, and we delivered a landslide victory.
That was step one. Now, we go national.
Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain.
History made. We won ten out of ten seats, with overwhelming majorities in every single one.
Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain.
A very special day.
