Police have released a CCTV image of a man they are looking to speak to following reports of racial abuse in Northwich town centre.

The victim reported that they were walking on Leicester Street at around 1.45pm on Friday 1 November when they were approached by an unknown man who was racially abusive towards them.

As the victim attempted to walk away, the man continued to follow them as they walked towards Asda, repeatedly shouting racial abuse.

Enquiries in relation to the incident have been ongoing and as part of the investigation officers have now released a CCTV image of a man they are looking to speak to.

PC Alice Ewins, of Northwich Local Policing Unit, said:
