CCTV footage has been released of a racist gambler who threatened a member of staff.
The cashier at William Hill bookmakers in Lea Bridge Road, Walthamstow, was verbally abused by the man pictured on December 16 at around 7.30pm.
He asked to place a bet but then hurled abuse at the employee, calling her a "f***ing b****" and told her he would "wait outside for her".
On his way out, he called her an Asian b**** .
CCTV footage shows him pointing his finger at the cashier and then walking towards the exit where he then turns around and shouts the racist abuse.
The footage has been passed to the Guardian as part of a joint venture with the Met to identify potential perpetrators of unsolved crimes in the borough.
