You missed a bit in the article.
" "I nearly fell down as they grabbed my beret and ran off laughing and joking.
"They also ripped the poppy from my blazer and left it on the floor. It was ruined so I binned it."
He also realised his medals had disappeared during the incident and a search of the area has failed to locate either the beret or the medals."
I hope they are still laughing and joking when and if they get caught for assault and robbery.

He, allegedly, had his beret snatched off his head. Let's keep things in perspective. I'm surprised it made the papers.

Imagine the furore if it had been white youths knocking the turban off an elderly Sikh gentleman/veteran? It would have made the Nationals.
As an ex Serviceman I'm obviously biased but to me there are two things you NEVER do at this time of year and that's harass veterans and burn poppies.
They're sacrosanct IMHO but it is a side of modern society that doesn't really shock me any more.

yeah I feel an old crock at 63.
people older than me get up and offer me their chairs
I feel for the old boy - all the young dont have to be hooligans out for 'fun'
when I was out getting my poppy I paid particular attention to the fella giving it out, and Baldric was absolutely right: ( previous threads ) well turned out in uniform, polite
and when I commented: "dont pin the poppy into my chest, as Tsar Nicholas did to russian soldiers in 1916," the cadet did not give me the standard AB salute of a prolonged 'whaaaaaaaa?' but smiled knowingly. Perfect manners

// PP. I somehow doubt you were ever in the services. //
but surprisingly enough at the Royal Naval Hospital they tried to recruit me following my behaviour in an emergency.
I think us bleeding hearts would look to the old boy
Finding and maiming the hooligans ( previous threads ) is a bit of a non starter
