Henry Hunter
A protester photographed holding a stick near Kingston Mosque has claimed he was in “the wrong place at the wrong time”.
Henry Hunter handed himself in to police after being pictured on the front page of the Surrey Comet, following an appeal to find more suspects in the attack on the East Road mosque on November 21, 2010.
At Kingston Crown Court, Mr Hunter denied being part of the group who threw sticks, beer bottles and bacon at the Muslim place of worship, and said he felt scared at what he saw.
He said he was part of the protest march against Muslim extremism that had taken place earlier that day, which concluded peacefully.
But a mob of men targetted the mosque after the march. Mr Hunter admitted going with the group to East Road, but said he broke away when they started throwing objects.
