Do you recognise this man?

Police who would like to speak to him in connection with a racist verbal attack on a shopkeeper in Medway.

Detectives are appealing for information after two men and a woman went into an off-license in Rochester High Street and verbally abused staff there.

The incident happened on Saturday, June 25, at about 3.15pm, but details have only just been released by police.

As the group went into the shop, a glass bottle was smashed. The owners asked the damaged item be paid for and although they were reimbursed, they were subjected to the abuse.

Officers are investigating the incident and are keen to speak to a man who may have information which would assist the police with their enquiries.

He is white, with short dark hair and was wearing three-quarter length trousers and a pink polo T-shirt.

DS Mark Silk said: "We believe that this man may be able to assist us with our enquiries and I urge him, or anyone who recognises him, to contact us as a priority.

"This incident was extremely concerning and upsetting for the victims and I ask that anyone who witnessed the incident to call 01622 690690 or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111."
