Hunt for man after family racially abused on Dundee to Aberdeen train
Police are hunting a man who hurled racist abuse at a young family as they sat on a train.
The suspect is said to have racially abused a mixed race family travelling on the service between Dundee and Aberdeen on Saturday February 20.
The couple, a man aged 29 and his 43-year-old wife, were travelling with their daughters aged 11 years and six months on the 17.40 Dundee to Aberdeen train.
They were left "shaken and extremely upset" by the incident, according to the British Transport Police.
The man is described as being in his late 50s, about 5 feet 5 inches tall and was wearing a brown jacket.
The suspect alighted from the train at Montrose station.
CCTV from the train and stations will be reviewed in an attempt to identify the man responsible.
Detective Constable Derek Alexander, the BTP officer in charge of the enquiry, appealed for witnesses to come forward.
He said: "This was a completely unprovoked incident which has really affected the family and I am anxious to trace anyone who has information which can assist our enquiries and urge them to get in touch."
