The attack occurred around 3 pm on Clevedon Road as attendees were dispersing from the music festival. The victim, targeted by a man and a woman, faced racial insults followed by an assault. Two members of the public—a 61-year-old woman and a 47-year-old man—came to the driver’s aid but were also attacked, sustaining facial injuries.
