Appeal for witnesses

We are appealing for witnesses following an incident outside Thames Court Pub on Friday, August 14.

At around 11pm the suspect, who was believed to have been intoxicated, was seen acting in an aggressive manner, shouting racist abuse from the tow path following a physical altercation.
