Maajid continued: "It was the love that was instantly shown to me at the moment of that racially aggravated assault that kept me sane and reminded me that we must never allow the extremists of any side to divide us - whether that be those on the far-left those on the far-right or the Islamist theocrats.
"And that's going to be my message, and it has been my message consistently both before, throughout, and going forward as well."
He also said that he hoped a mugshot of the assailant would be made public by the police soon, after his image was caught on nearby CCTV.
