Police are looking for a man in connection with alleged racial abuse against a woman on a train in North Lincolnshire.

British Transport Police have released an image in connection with investigations into a racially motivated public order offence at around 7.30pm on December 9, 2021.

The woman was sat on her own opposite a group of four men on a train travelling between Meadowhall in Sheffield and Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire.

During the journey, one of the men allegedly made a racially motivated comment about the woman, and officers believe the man in the picture may have information which could help with their investigation.
