Prime Minister Tony Blair has condemned attacks on a seven-year-old boy and 41-year-old man who were wearing England shirts in Scotland.
The attacks in Edinburgh and Aberdeen are being treated as football-related racist assaults.
Primary schoolboy Hugo Clapshaw was punched in an Edinburgh park and disabled Ian Smith was attacked in his car in Aberdeen.
Mr Blair said such assaults were "appalling and totally unjustifiable".
Hugo told BBC Scotland: "I just felt this big whack and I started crying. His eyes looked very fierce."
Hugo, a New Zealander who has lived in Edinburgh for two years with his family, said: "He whacked me on the head very, very hard and it's left a big bruise.
"It was maybe because I had an England shirt on. He told my dad I should be supporting Scotland not England. It was serious because it was a big shock and very painful."
Hugo still wants to wear his England top to support a British team
Hugo had been playing with his family in Edinburgh's Inverleith Park on Saturday afternoon when he was punched by a man thought to be aged between 24 and 30.
His father Damon, 34, who was also assaulted, said the man had been wearing a Rangers top.
He said: "Hugo still wants to wear his England top to support a British team. He's a kilted Kiwi."
A spokesperson for Lothian and Borders Police described the attack as "cowardly and pathetic".
'Totally unprovoked'
In Aberdeen, Mr Smith was sitting in his parked car on Anderson Road when he was dragged from the vehicle and beaten up on Tuesday.
Mr Smith is a retired postman originally from Peterborough and has been in Aberdeen for about 12 years.
He struggled with his attacker and was left requiring treatment for injuries to his face.
Mr Smith said: "He was a psychopath, it was a totally unprovoked racist attack because I was wearing an England top and displaying an England flag."
