One man, who is now too afraid to leave home following a catapult attack, spoke to the BBC anonymously because he fears revenge attacks.
He said he was shot in the back with a catapult after being taunted about his disability by a group of young people.
“I stood up for myself. Three of them attacked me,” he said.
The man, in his 30s, was injured after being hit with a ball bearing, a small metal projectile fired by catapults.
His injury could have been a lot worse had he not turned away in time, he said.
