Officers are appealing for information after a man was racially abused in Peterhead.
Around 10.20am on Friday, 2 August, 2024, a 21-year-old man was walking along Arran Avenue when a man approached him from behind, pushed him to the ground and racially abused him.
An elderly gentleman came to the victim’s aid and although the victim did not require medical assistance, he was extremely shaken by the incident. Officers are appealing for this man to contact them.
The suspect is described as white, around 6ft. tall, large build. He was wearing a red baseball cap and a grey hooded top and spoke with a local accent.
Extensive enquiries have been carried out and now we are making a public appeal for information asking the public to get in touch.
Sergeant Frank McDermott said: “I am appealing to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident to contact us with any information they may have. If anyone recognises the description of the suspect, please get in touch with us. I would also ask anyone with dash cam or doorbell recording equipment to check the footage. It could assist our investigation in locating the man responsible.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting crime reference number CR/0283163/24 of 2 August. 2024
