Police are searching for two women after they broke a 15-year old girl's arm in a racist attack in London. The teenager, who is of Asian appearance, was at a KFC in Waltham Forest, eating with friends when the two women threw food at her.
A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said that when the teenager turned around to speak to the women, they started to hurl racial abuse at her. “The older of the two women then pulled the victim's hair causing her to fall to the floor. Both suspects kicked the victim whilst she was on the ground. As the victim stood up, a hot drink was thrown at her face.”
This incident had taken place on 6th November 2017. Police were called at around 8:30pm and the victim was taken to the hospital by paramedics as she had suffered a broken arm in the assault.
One suspect is believed to be in her 50s while the other in her 20s, and could also be mother and daughter.
Detective Constable Rosie Doyle said, “This was an unprovoked and vicious attack which has left the victim very shaken and with serious injury. If you recognise the women in these pictures, we would urge you to get in touch. We do not tolerate hate crime of any form and encourage victims and witnesses to come forward and report such incidents to the police.”
