The incident, which left Mok with facial fractures, occurred around 9:15 p.m. in Oxford Street, London on Feb. 24, 2020.
“I saw one of them look at me (just as he walked past me) and said something to me, which I could make out the word ‘coronavirus,’” Mok wrote of the attack, which involved four male perpetrators.
