Bratislava - A black British man was attacked and abused by skinheads in Slovakia, human rights organisation People Against Racism reported Tuesday in Bratislava. According to the organisation, the Londoner came to the west Slovakian town of Trnava for a skateboard competition and was visiting a nightclub when attacked. The neo-Nazis kicked and spat at him and shouted anti-black slogans. When the Briton left the club with his friends and got a taxi they followed and damaged the vehicle. The taxi driver informed the police.
