Tyson’s friend, Jay has written a poem for the injured man as he continues his fight for life.

️It reads:

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is a ‘hello it’s me,’

All I want for Christmas is a Jäger by the tree,

All I want for Christmas is the past to be the past,

It’s just so we can go and have another blast,

So come on Santa after 2020 I don’t think I’m being rude, but Sheffield needs it’s beloved Mahmood.

It’s not just for me, it’s for all you see.

I don’t mind not getting owt else under the tree.

So set off now but don’t move with haste, this precious cargo is often late.

It seems a lot to ask this Christmas,

But it doesn’t seem a lot to me,

All I want for Christmas is to spend it with my brother T. ️

Louis Ward, 27, of Broomfield Road, Broomhall, Sheffield, has been charged with assault over the attack.
