Rosie Jones has revealed she was attacked by a group of thugs who threw wine at her and an openly-gay friend in an ‘ableist and homophobic’ assault.
The comedian, who also identifies as gay, told how her and her stand-up comic pal Lee Peart were victims of the cruel attack while on a train on Sunday evening.
Rosie, who has ataxic cerebral palsy, claimed that three people ‘mocked’ her and Lee before launching a glass of booze at them onboard the train.
Following the attack, Lee shared a video on his Instagram page explaining to his followers what had happened to them, which was then reshared by Rosie.
Speaking to the camera, Lee began by saying: ‘Here I am with one of my favourite people and look…’
He then panned his camera to show stains of red wine against the train wall.
