Appeal for Witnesses After a Woman is Racially Abused in Scarborough

North Yorkshire Police is appealing for witnesses, CCTV images or information following a incident where a woman was subjected to racist abuse as she walked through Esplanade Gardens in Scarborough.

The incident took place at around 4pm on Friday 7 May 2021 . As the woman walked through the park area of Esplanade Gardens, a group of five men shouted racist remarks at her. The men are described as  white and were listening to music and drinking alcohol at the time.

Officers are requesting the public's assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident. In particular, they would be interested to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time who witnessed the incident, or overheard the comments made by the men.

Anyone with information which would assist officers to identify the men, or CCTV images or mobile phone footage of the incident, should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask  to speak to PC Jacob Rushworth. You can also email jacob.rushworth@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk

If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Please quote the North Yorkshire Police reference number 12210113305.
