Well it's not something you see everyday, but people do get the shit beaten out of them for no reason here. Verbal abuse is pretty commonplace, and I can think of two people I know personally who have had teenagers come up to them and smash their nose in, and walk off. I used to teach at an inner city school in south London and took the bus home. I'd say that I saw an altercation of some kind on the bus every couple of weeks. Granted, not the most upmarket area.
