Please see following table which shows the number of physical assaults recorded by location. Please note that UKBA does not record the identity of the individual making the assault and cannot specify whether he or she was an ‘asylum seeker’. The figures in the table therefore represent all assaults on staff by members of the public and not just asylum seekers. Verbal assaults are excluded from these data.
