Police investigating racial attack on woman in Derry

Police are investigating a racial attack on a woman in the Dungiven Road area of Derry on Sunday last.

They say the incident was completely unprovoked.

It’s reported that the woman was verbally assaulted and kicked in her upper leg and thigh area and pushed a number of times as she walked through a tunnel in the Dungiven Road area at around 2pm.

Inspector Kyle Rowntree says police are treating the incident as a racially-motivated attack, which was completely unprovoked.

He says hate crime has no place in society and that it should be rejected and reviled by everyone.

Police are looking to identify a man who is described as wearing a black sleeveless coat with the hood up and tracksuit bottoms. He is believed to be over 6ft and had tattoos on both arms.

Anyone who may have any information on the attack is asked to contact Police.
