Hopkins then got a Lime bike and went to the address thinking if something did go wrong he could just bike off. Once he got down to the end of the street he saw someone shining what appeared to be a torch. Hopkins says police told him the groups had filmed several assaults and uploaded them to a private group. When he puts the bins out at night he fears he will be attacked and has regular flashbacks of the offending. The victims were "lured" to areas late at night and then attacked by members of the group.
