Police are appealing for witnesses to an alleged race hate assault in York.

It happened at Duncombe Place taxi rank at about 12.20am on Sunday, December 16.

A woman assaulted a man who was waiting for a taxi. It is believe that the woman’s boyfriend also assaulted the same man.

The victim received minor injuries and did not require hospital treatment.

A police spokesman said:

It is believed that this attack was motivated by race hate, as the woman had made comments about the victim’s nationality before the attack happened.

We are conducting enquiries and are requesting the public’s assistance to help determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
