A horrified Muslim man has told of his shock after he was targeted by right-wing extremists who graffitied his home with a line from a Katie Hopkins tweet.

The 42-year-old man says he was knocked unconscious by thugs and woke up to find his walls covered with the words of hate.

The dad-of-three, who wishes to remain anonymous, had been drilling a broken bathroom door handle and wearing earphones while home alone on Wednesday morning.

Intruders entered his Heckmondwike home before striking him from behind with an unknown object, according to the Huddersfield Examiner.

He said: “My back was turned and I didn’t hear a single thing.

“A couple of minutes later I woke up with a sore head and I felt a bump on the back of it. Then the adrenaline kicked in.

“I knew someone must have hit me so I dialled 999. I wasn’t sure if they were still here because I hadn’t even checked downstairs yet.

“The police and ambulance were on their way so I made my way outside – that’s when I saw the graffiti on the walls above the staircase.

“I was in shock – I wondered if it was real.”

On one wall, the graffiti read: “P***s out. We need a final solution #Machester.”

It quoted a Twitter post written by disgraced newspaper columnist Katie Hopkins following the Manchester terror attack – even misspelling the hashtag.

On the opposite wall there was more racist graffiti that the victim says police have asked him to keep private for risk of it being repeated by other fanatics.
