Photo: NewshubKiwi Newshub reporter Aziz Al-Sa'afin was viciously beaten at the weekend in a homophobic attack which left him thinking he "was going to die". Speaking on The AM Show this morning, Al-Sa'afin described his night out with friends on K' Road celebrating Pride Week. "Then another fist made contact with the right side of my jaw… they were yelling out 'fags, homos, you're going to hell.' I actually thought, and I don't say this lightly, but I thought I was going to die in that moment. There were three witnesses who saw the incident unfold and helped Al-Sa'afin to find his friend who had run away.
