A sports shop customer is being sought by police following a racist attack on a teenager.

Suspect 165267 is wanted in connection with racially aggravated actual bodily harm (ABH) at JD Sports in Selborne Walk, Walthamstow, on November 20. 

Police have released CCTV of the rant but not the attack whereby the staff member, an 18-year-old girl, is called a "mixed race bitch" and threatened with assault.

It is understood the abuse started after the customer, described as being in her early twenties, accused the employee of watching her.

She then hit the victim over the head, causing minor injuries.

The CCTV has been passed to the Guardian as part of a joint venture with the Metropolitan Police to identify potential perpetrators of unsolved crimes in the borough.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Waltham Forest police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
