Racist abuse hurled at bus passenger

Police are appealing for witnesses after a bus passenger was racially abused in Brighton.

On October 5 at around 4.45pm, the victim was on board the 21 bus by The Level.

He reported being approached by a man in his 60s, described as medium to large build with short grey hair, wearing a flat cap with a checked shirt. He was also using a walking stick.

The man was reported to have shouted racial abuse at the victim before being asked to leave the bus.

If you witnessed the incident or have information that could assist the investigation, you can report via our online form or by calling 101 quoting reference 1010 of 05/10.

    Disgraceful, but unfortunately you only have to scratch the surface sometimes for racism to rear it’s ugly head . Things like this give Brighton abad name. All that seems to be in the papers is violences, and other evils. Come on Brighton we are better than this.

    Very sad. There is enough misery in the world without making more.
