Officers investigating a racially aggravated public order incident in Bournemouth are appealing for anyone with information to come forward as they are trying to identify a man – with CCTV images being released.

The incident happened at around 12.40pm on Wednesday 20 October 2021 in the Lewis-Manning Hospice Care store in Seamoor Road in the Westbourne area of the town.

It was reported that a customer had blocked some internal stairs by putting an electric scooter in front of the entrance. When he was asked by a staff member to move it, he became racially abusive and made threats.

Police Constable Christopher Hartley, of Bournemouth police, said: “Understandably, this incident has greatly upset the victim.

“Following initial enquiries, I am now in a position to release CCTV images of a man I would like to identify.

“I would urge anyone who might have information as to his identity to please contact us.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police at www.dorset.police.uk/do-it-online, via email [email protected] or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55210169601. Alternatively, to stay 100 per cent anonymous, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers online at Crimestoppers-uk.org or call freephone 0800 555 111.
