Muslim leaders have condemned an attack on an Anglican clergyman calling the assault "cowardly and despicable".
Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was beaten by youths described as Asian in the grounds of St George-in-the-East, Shadwell, east London, on 5 March.
Mr Ainsworth suffered cuts, bruises and two black eyes when he asked three youths to lower their voices.
