Police looking for teens after alleged racial assault
Man injured in attack
A 53-year-old man suffered minor injuries after he was the victim of what is thought to have been a racist attack in Bury Park last week. Four teenagers of Asian appearance approached the man from behind as he walked along Moor Path just after 5pm on Thursday, February 19.
The gang pushed the victim before kicking his feet from under him causing him to fall to the ground. They told the man that the incident had been 'racial' before fleeing towards Waldeck Road.
Investigating Sgt Katherine Rivers is keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the attack. She said: "This man was making his way home minding his own business when out of the blue he has been the victim of a physical attack. If anyone knows those responsible, or if you witnessed the assault please contact the police.
"This incident has left the victim with grazing to his hands and legs together with a cut to his lip. This sort of abuse will not be tolerated."
Police are looking for four Asian boys aged between 14 and 16.
Anyone with information should contact Sgt Rivers by calling 01582 394020, by sending a text message to 07786 200011, or by contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
