Police are appealing for witnesses following reports that a man was racially assaulted in Swindon.
On Tuesday, August 27 at around 10:30pm, a man was approached by four other men, who were thought to be in their late teens near to Eastmere and the Royal Mail depot in Liden Drive.
Two of the men had masks on and two bicycles with them and they asked the man if he smoked and if he had any money, before pushing him.
One of the masked males is believed to have pulled out a possible bladed item and the man was verbally assaulted and walked away.
