Supermarket attack 'an act of terror', says family of Dr Sarandev Bhambra

A man has been found of guilty of attempted murder after attacking a trainee dentist with a machete and a hammer in north Wales.

Zack Davies, 26, targeted Dr Sarandev Bhambra at a Tesco store in Mold, Flintshire, in a racially motivated revenge assault for the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby.

After the ruling, Dr Bhambra's family paid tribute to those who stepped in to help him during and after the attack, but said it should have been treated as an act of terrorism in the courts.

Dr Tarlochan Singh Bhambra told reporters: "Sarandev was singled out because of the colour of his skin. We are in no doubt that had the racial disposition of this case been reversed this would be reported as an act of terror with wider media coverage.

"We as a family have listened intently to the evidence... and are in no doubt given the racial and political motivation that this should be rightly defined as an act of terrorism."
