(about 7 hours later)
An attack on two Polish men just hours after a march and vigil in honour of a Pole murdered in the same town was a "potential hate crime", police said. Three Polish ministers are set to make an urgent visit to the UK following attacks on Polish men.
Four or five men outside the William Aylmer pub in Harlow attacked the pair on Sunday morning, officers said. Two Poles were attacked on Sunday, just hours after a march and vigil to honour Arek Jozwik, who died after an attack in the same town of Harlow, Essex.
One victim suffered a broken nose, the other a cut to his head. Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Rafal Sobczak said the country's foreign, justice and interior ministers would be flying into London.
Supt Trevor Roe said the "vicious and horrible attack" in Kitson Way was not being linked to the fatal attack on Arek Jozwik in the town last weekend. A specific date for the visit, however, has not yet been set.
