Tom Borwick is beaten unconscious by girl gang in KFC in Leicester Square | Daily Mail Online

London is becoming a dangerous place, multiculturalism is not working as supposed.
The news headers didn't include that the girls were black. An obvious hate crime, but silenced in all news.

Looks like he was being attacked constantly by this gang of three black girls (one of whom was from France), walking around taking abuse and not fighting back, even asking security guards to get these girls off him, and at one moment of vulnerability while defending a girl was pushed to the ground and knocked unconscious. He probably didn't regard them to be an existential threat, otherwise he would have fought back.

London isn't a dangerous city by any stretch, nor is it "becoming dangerous", but these animals need to be caged.

If race is the major factor influencing violent crime, how do you explain the following?

Where are world's deadliest major cities? | News | The Guardian

Murder rate per 100,000 people:

London: 1.6

Glasgow: 3.3

Tallinn: 7.3

Moscow: 4.6

Brussels: 3.0

New York comes in at 5.6, a huge drop in recent years while it's population has been becoming less white.

I take it, from the assurance with which you refer to things that were not present in the news report you linked to, that you were present during the incident?

London not dangerous?? at last reckoning there were at least 250 street gangs there, and I wouldn't go there even if you paid me.

Bedfordshire is the murder capital of Britain, see how your area compares

You mean Damilola Taylor, who was tragically murdered...15 years ago? In a city swamped by violence, with people being mown down left, right, and centre, you remember the name of someone who left us a decade-and-a-half ago?

At least 250 gangs, I'm not disputing that statement, but how did you arrive at it?
You say that you wouldn't come here if you were paid, that's okay, it's your call, but I've lived here all my life, the last 30 about 1.5 miles from where Damilola Taylor was murdered, and about 1 mile from the scrap metal yard of the infamous Richardson brothers gang, with the Krays stamping ground around 1.75 miles to the north, and I've somehow managed to stay alive.
No one has ever attacked/attempted to mug me or any of my family, maybe we've just been lucky I guess.
You're apprehensive about visiting London, but I go to the U.S. at least once per year, this Sunday I'm going again, and that is allegedly the shoot-em-up capital of the world, (although I've probably jinxed myself now.)
In all honesty, and with absolutely no disrespect, if everyone felt like you, we'd all build a wall around our houses, never go out, and sound a siren if any stranger approached the wall.
