Police Seek Witnesses in Racially-Aggrevated Incident in Scarborough

North Yorkshire Police are appealing for information regarding a racially-aggravated public order incident that occurred on Bar Street in Scarborough.

The incident took place around 9:10 PM on the evening of Friday, August 29 when a couple was subjected to racist abuse by an unidentified suspect.

Police are particularly keen to locate a woman who intervened during the incident to assist the victims. She is described as having blonde hair and is estimated to be between 40 and 50 years old. Police are urging this witness to come forward, as her testimony could provide crucial insights into the case.

A spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police stated,

“If you are the woman who helped the victims or if you witnessed the incident, we encourage you to reach out to us. Your information could be vital in our investigation.”

In addition to the appeal for the woman, police are requesting that anyone else who may have witnessed the incident or has relevant CCTV footage contact them. Individuals can reach out via email at simon.hunter@northyorkshire.police.uk or by calling 101 and asking for PC 751 Simon Hunter.

For those wishing to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers can be contacted at 0800 555 111 or through their website. When providing information, individuals are asked to reference the incident number 12250163598.
