A RIDGEWAY pupil said Asian students at the Wroughton school were members of a gang calling themselves the Asian Invasion.

A Year 9 student giving evidence at the trial of four teenagers, who are accused of attacking Henry Webster with a hammer, told Bristol Crown Court: "They were in a gang called the Asian Invasion.

"All the Asians at school were in it. They would walk around all the time thinking they're it.

"They were always spitting and things. There were about 10 of them in it.

"At lunchtime they were barging into Henry. Then they started shouting names at him like giant' and skyscraper'."

The teenager said she had heard members of the Asian Invasion gang joking about the attack on Henry.

She said: "One of them jokes about it now.

"Anytime anyone is talking loudly in class or doing something he doesn't like he says shut up and f' off or you're only one text away.

"Then he gets his phone out and waves it around."

The trial of Wasif Khan, Amjad Qazi, and two teenagers aged 15 and 16, had previously heard that the fight was arranged by text message and mobile phone calls.

James Patrick, for the prosecution, told the court that the 15-year-old defendant had arranged a one-on-one fight in the tennis courts with Henry after school, but then made a phone call to arrange for older friends to take part.

The 14-year-old, giving evidence yesterday, described seeing a tall Asian man wearing a Dolce & Gabbana logo hoodie attacking Henry.

"I was thinking he's going to die'," she said.

"I started crying.

"The leader had a black D&G hoodie on. You could tell it was fake, though."

The girl said she clearly remembered the man with the hammer's jacket bearing a small gold logo with the letters D & G on the back.

Peter Henry, defending Khan, said: "You clearly remember the D&G jacket? And you are sure it had all three symbols on?"

The witness replied yes'.

Robin Shellard, defending Qazi, showed the witness a photograph of the jacket Khan had when he was arrested.

"What I suggest happened is you remembered it was a D&G jacket. It was that and' sign that stuck in your head.

"You only saw if very briefly and when you recalled it five and a half weeks later you remembered it was D&G but some of the details weren't clear."

l The trial continues.
