Woman Racially Abused On Sheffield Bus

    Officers investigating reports that a woman was racially abused in Sheffield are asking people who saw what happened to come forward.

    The incident is said to have happened between 11-11.20am on Friday 2 September, when a 21-year-old Asian woman was travelling on the number 88 Stagecoach bus from outside of the Northern General Hospital, Barnsley Road.

    A couple of stops later, a woman got on the bus with three young children, two girls and a boy, and sat close to the alleged victim. 

    The victim is then said to have received racial abuse from the woman throughout the duration of the journey, before getting off the bus at Snig Hill.

    The woman is described as white, in her late 20s and of average height and build. Officers would like to hear from anyone who was travelling on the bus at the same time and who saw what happened.
