A teenage far-right extremist who kicked a transgender woman in the head before boasting about it online saying ‘Best day ever’, has been jailed for over five years. Alex Edwards, also known as Alex Hutton, attacked the woman and her two male friends while they had a picnic at a park in Swansea in May last year. The 19-year-old called one of them a ‘nonce’ and said the group were ‘trannies’, before the victim — a student at the local university — threw her drink at Edwards and his 14-year-old accomplice. Edwards then retaliated by swinging a ‘forceful kick’ at her head four or five times, yelling ‘Heil Hitler’, while his friend filmed the brutal assault. The attack left the victim unconscious with marks from Edwards’ trainer on her face, bruising to both eye sockets, and cuts all over her head, a court heard. Edwards, of Morriston, Swansea, was jailed five years and four months at Winchester Crown Court after pleading guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm, disseminating terrorist material and having a bladed article in a public place. He was also convicted of breaching a criminal behaviour order for a previous offence of distributing terrorist material in 2022. Police were alerted after Edwards’ former girlfriend saw a video he posted to a closed group on Instagram on October 9 last year, which featured footage of the assault mixed with extreme right-wing clips. He had added a laughing face emoji and captioned it: ‘Got the full video off a mate finally, only had the aftermath. Still love my switch kick’, a reference to a mixed martial arts move. He also posted: ‘Best day ever.’ The ex-girlfriend, who said Edwards had an ‘obsession with Hitler and Nazism’, showed the post to her mother, who then reported it to police. Examination of the Instagram group revealed that it had 73 members, most of whom were young people.
