Police have released an image of a woman they want to speak to following an incident in Erith.
At around 16:40hrs on Friday, 11 August the victim, a 55-year-old man, entered a newsagent in Brook Street DA8 when he noticed a woman was in dispute with a member of staff.
The victim attempted to intervene to calm the situation, at which point he was allegedly repeatedly assaulted, spat at and racially abused by the woman.
The woman then left the scene.
Police attended and conducted an extensive search of the area with the victim, but the woman could not be found.
The victim did not suffer any serious injuries but was understandably shaken by the incident.
Officers have been following enquiries and are now turning to the public to help identify her.
Anyone who can identify the woman in the picture is asked to call 101 or post @MetCC ref CAD 5023/11 Aug.
To remain 100% anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
