A shop worker who was savagely beaten when masked robbers raided an off-licence has branded his attackers “animals”.
Tandeep Singh Saggu, 33, was set upon by three youths at Cottage Stores, in Otley, who pulled his turban off and repeatedly punched and kicked him before stealing cash, alcohol and cigarettes.
He said: “I tried to defend myself against one of them, but then another one joined in and covered my face with his hands. One of them was telling me if I moved they would stab me. They were just like animals.”
The incident happened at about 8.50pm on Sunday night at the shop in Newall Carr Road.
