A British minister was brutally beaten Monday after discussions with Muslims on his gospel program, The London Daily Mail reported.

The Reverend Noble Samuel had been debating Muslims on his Asian gospel show when the argument began.

While on his way to work Monday morning, he was attacked. Three Asian men pulled over in front of him. One got out asking directions and then began beating Samuel.

They threatened to break his legs if he went back to work. But Samuel went on to host his hour-long program.

The minister of Heston United Reformed Church of West London says his program is "not confrontational."

The police are treating the incident as "faith hate" and are still searching for the attackers.
