Glasgow police appeal after racist George Square assault

Officers have released images of two men they want to speak to.

Police in Glasgow are investigating a racist assault that took place in George Square last month.

Officers released images of two men they would like to speak to, after a man was assaulted and racially abused in the city centre square on Sunday, June 14.

The attack happened between 1:39pm and 1:45pm, on a weekend that saw hundreds of Black Lives Matter protesters and counter-protesters gather in the square.

Police said they believe the pair may be able to assist their investigation.

They asked anyone who recognises the men in the images to contact officers at City Centre Police Station via telephone number 101, quoting incident number 1027 of 14 June 2020.

Alternatively information can be given via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained.
