Do you recognise this man?

Police would like to speak to the man pictured in relation to an alleged hate crime on board a DLR train as it approached Poplar station.

The victim was standing by the train's doors just after 9pm on Thursday, January 20, when she was reportedly approached by a man who made racial slurs about her headscarf, according to police.

A short while later, he allegedly grabbed her headscarf and tried to pull it off before ripping her rucksack off her back, causing its strap to tear.

British Transport Police have released CCTV images of a man who officers believe may have information which could assist their investigation.
