A SUBWAY worker was beaten unconscious by teenage thugs after telling them a toilet was out of order.

The bullies beat him outside the shop, in Newport Pagnell, Bucks., until he was left unconscious on the ground.

Ben, who has been working at the fast food chain for a year, said: "About four kids came over to me but it was only two of them that actually done something to me.

"They just started beating me up and stamping on my head.

"It seemed to go on for ever and there was nothing I could do - because I kept going unconscious I didn't know what was happening.

"They just kept smashing my head into the ground, they had Timberland boots on as well."

The group of teens eventually fled after members of the public ran over to help and the emergency services were called.

Ben claims the altercation started after the boys, aged around 16, asked to use the toilet but when his colleague declined, the group started to become aggressive.

He explained the toilet was out of order but they allegedly said: "Shut up you autistic p***k. Come outside, you're so lucky there's camera in here".

Ben, of Milton Keynes, Bucks., claims they waited for him outside and two men attacked him.

An ambulance took Ben to Milton Keynes A&E after the incident left him partially blind in his right eye, with a split eyebrow and suffering black outs.

He said: "It feels like I have got motion sickness.

"The hospital think I have been sliced with a razor of some sort or a knife."

Doctors say it may take Ben longer than four weeks to recover and once the swelling has cleared he will have to have another check up due to his blurred vision since the incident.

Ben is currently waiting for the police to update him on the incident but wishes to put a personal appeal out in the hope somebody saw his attackers.

He claims one of the two boys wore a navy Puma track suit and Timberland boots. The other wore a black band around his head.

Ben added: "I would really like to say thank you to the 14-year-old girl that stepped in when nobody else was there and managed to retrieve my phone and my keys."
