A gang of youths who stabbed, punched and kicked a teenager in a transphobic attack after luring her to Harrow Leisure Centre under the pretence of going to a roller disco have been jailed. The 18-year-old transgender victim was stabbed nine times after she was dragged to the floor by the mask-wearing gang and was subjected to transphobic slurs.
