BBC Radio presenter racially abused in Coventry
An investigation has been launched after a radio presenter was racially abused in Coventry city centre on Wednesday morning (29 June).
Trish Adudu was subjected to the comments at around 9.30am as she walked to her car on Cox Road by a man who was riding past on a bicycle.
It comes just days after West Midlands Police Chief Constable Dave Thompson promised a zero tolerance stance on hate crime following last week’s referendum result.
Police are appealing to find the person responsible and to also find another member of the public in the area at the time to come forward - an Asian man, who was also abused by the cyclist.
The suspect is described as a pale white man, clean shaven, of small, thin build, aged in his mid-20s.
Anyone who thinks they may have experienced or witnessed hate crime is urged to report it by calling West Midlands Police on the 101.
