London City Mission’s chief executive Graham Miller and his wife Alison are recovering after an assault in Earlsfield. Their daughter witnessed the attack.
Miller said they were assaulted after he ‘challenged some kids for abusing a cafe manager next to the station’. He tweeted: ‘We were both punched repeatedly in the head from behind and Alison was knocked down. Kids were still hitting her whilst on the floor and passers-by had to tear them off.’
Miller, who suffered with some concussion, said he was praying for the girls involved.
He added: ‘I pray for London’s youth and children every day. They need hope, they need Jesus. After the loss of our son, Harry [who died in 2018], we’ve felt a desire to help the teenagers of Wandsworth and this will redouble our efforts.’
