POLICE are hunting a man who hit and kicked a woman in a racist attack in a Hampshire car park.

The 40-year-old victim suffered an injured hand in the attack, which happened after she was pushed from behind while in the car park of the boating lake in Gosport.

This caused her to fall to the ground where she was then hit and kicked and racially abused.

The suspect is described as white, of slender build, 5ft 5in tall, with a deep husky voice, short dark hair and wearing dark trousers, dark shoes or trainers and a royal blue top which may have had a zip fastening.

Anyone with information on or who witnessed the incident, which happened on January 31 between 9.15pm and 9.30pm, or who may have seen a man matching this description in the area is asked to call DC Emily Dummer on 101.

Alternatively call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
