Officers are issuing an image of a man they would like to speak to following a racially aggravated public order incident in Bournemouth.
At around 9am on Thursday 22 April 2021 the victim – a local man aged in his 50s – noticed a man with a dog near to Boscombe Pier. It is reported that the man kicked his dog, before the victim asked him to stop.
