Attack victim 'too afraid to beg'
Michael Kennedy
Police feared for Michael Kennedy's life after the attack
A homeless man left for dead by a gang who beat him up said he is now too afraid to go back on the streets.

Michael Kennedy, 29, was in intensive care after the attack outside Norwich railway station on Easter Sunday.

At one stage police thought he was going to die and are still looking for four men involved in the attack.

"I've totally lost my faith - I don't sit and beg any more. I refuse to beg because I am worried about something happening again," he said.

Mr Kennedy was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge with a fractured skull but discharged himself after treatment.
