Londonderry: Woman injured in racially-motived attack

Police described the attack as "completely unprovoked"

Police are treating an attack in Londonderry as racially-motivated.

A woman was assaulted by a man in a tunnel in the Dungiven Road area at 14:00 BST on Sunday.

"The woman was verbally assaulted by the man who also kicked her to the upper leg and thigh area and pushed her a few times," Insp Kyle Rowntree said.

Police described the attack as "completely unprovoked" and have appealed for anyone with information about the incident to contact them.

"We are seeking to identify a man who is described as wearing a black sleeveless coat with the hood up and tracksuit bottoms," Insp Rowntree added.

"He is believed to be over 6ft tall and had tattoos on both his arms.

"Hate crime has no place in society. It should be rejected and reviled by everyone," he said.
