402_31 interference 31. At around 7.15 p.m. two young men in hoods armed with a baseball bat and an air gun entered the centre. They were stopped in the corridor by Ms P., one of the organisers of the event. The applicant was nearby. As soon as the applicant turned his head in their direction, one of the intruders shot him in the left eye, whereupon the applicant crouched down and tried to hide. One of the attackers shouted “where are you going, faggot?” at the applicant and then approached him and hit him in the shoulder and leg with the bat, following which the two men left the centre. The police and an ambulance arrived shortly thereafter. The police found and collected evidence, including three metal bullets, several shoe prints, palm prints and fingerprints.
