A bus passenger in Bath has been assaulted after telling off a woman for making racist remarks.
The incident happened last Monday on a Number 5 bus at around 5.30pm when the offender started making racist comments as it was travelling through Whiteway.
Another passenger stood up and told her to be quiet and the bus driver removed the woman on Twerton High Street.
But as she was getting off the bus she hit the person who told her to be quiet.
The incident was reported to the police by a member of the public, so the victim of the assault has not yet been identified.
Anyone who has information about the attack, either a witness or the person who was hit, should contact Avon and Somerset Police on 0845 4567000 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
This is Bath
