Three teens have been found guilty of attacking a Muslim man with bottles in Streatham, causing him to lose sight in one eye.

Matthew Burch, 18 from Morden, Jack Harris, 17 from Mitcham and Ergys Mekshi, 18 from Norbury, were all convicted of grievous bodily harm with intent at Inner London Crown Court today.

A fourth youth, Luke Delaney, 17 from Surrey, pleaded guilty to the same charge earlier this year.

The conviction follows the attack in Greyhound Lane on the man in his 20s.

He had been on his way to prayers in the morning of June 24.

All four have been remanded in custody and will be sentenced on January 25.
