Wednesday, 13 June 2007
A man has been pushed into the River Dour during what police describe as racially-motivated assault in Pencsester Gardens, Dover.

The attack happened at 3.15pm on Sunday, 10 June, when a 33-year-old British man of Asian appearance was subjected to racial abuse and then pushed hard in the chest, causing him to fall into the river.

The offender is described as a white man, in his mid 20s, about six feet one inch tall, of medium build, with short dark blonde hair. He was clean shaven and had a local accent. He was wearing a white zip sweat shirt and a white t-shirt with a red pattern on it.

Det Con Rebecca Lown said: "This was an unprovoked, racist assault on a man who was minding his own business. The offender needs to be caught and dealt with."

Anyone with information should contact the police on 01304 240055, or call Kent Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
