Police have shared CCTV images of two women they wish to speak to in connection with a racially-aggravated assault in Plymouth.

A woman was assaulted as she was walking to her car in Manor Gardens in Stonehouse, a Devon and Cornwall Police spokesperson said.

She was subjected to racist abuse by two women before her face was scratched, they added.

The force said a woman who tried to intervene was also assaulted during the incident, which happened on 13 September.

A police spokesperson said: "Officers are keen to identify the individuals pictured as they may be able to assist with their enquiries."
