Police in Bristol investigate homophobic hate crime
It happened on Broad Quay last month
Police in Bristol are releasing an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with a hate crime last month.
A man was witnessed verbally abusing another man using homophobic language on Broad Quay at about 9.30pm on Wednesday 12th June.
As well as identifying the offender, officers also want to speak to the victim, who they're yet to receive a report from.
Investigating officer PC James Mullins said: “A police employee witnessed this incident taking place and was concerned for the safety of the man being abused."
“They called 999 and officers attended within minutes but by then both parties had left the area.
“We’ve carried out enquiries to try and identify those involved but these have so far been unsuccessful.
“We believe the man in the image we’re now releasing could help us progress our investigation and we’d ask anyone who knows who he is to contact us.”
