A racist yob who hurled abuse at a Bolton woman is being hunted by police.
The 30-year-old woman was subjected to a barrage of name-calling while waiting at Darwen railway station.
She was standing on the Manchester bound platform to catch a train to Bolton when a man on the opposite platform began shouting racist abuse at her.
He called her names and asked where she came from, which British Transport Police Officers said made her feel “extremely uncomfortable”.
The incident happened on Monday, November 29 PC Lorraine Faulkner, at British Transport Police, said: “The abuse levelled at the woman was completely unacceptable and we are trying to trace the man responsible.”
He is described as being white, about 5’ 8” tall with a reddish complexion and short sandy coloured spiky hair.
He was wearing dark grey tracksuit bottoms and a similar coloured top and the victim believes he had no top teeth.
Anyone with information should call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting background log B8/NWA of 7/1/11.
This is Lancashire
