Police hunt woman who hurled vile racist abuse at Dundee car driver in daylight attack

Police are appealing for witnesses after a driver was subjected to a tirade of racist abuse in Dundee.

The victim was sitting in their car at traffic lights on Victoria Road, near the junction with Dens Road, at around 4.25pm on Tuesday.

Whilst stopped in their Mitsubishi Lancer, a blonde woman unleashed a “sustained” barrage of racist comments towards the driver.

A passing motorist was forced to intervene while other passersby took footage of the woman.

Police are keen to anyone who may recognise the alleged racist and to get in touch if they witnessed the incident.

The woman is described as being in her late 30s, of a large build, with long hair and was wearing a pink t-shirt with black trousers.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A number of people were in the area at the time, and at least one other motorist stopped to intervene.

“We have already spoken to some witnesses and obtained footage of the incident, but would still like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or can assist with identifying the woman we wish to trace.

“If you have any information that could assist our investigation, please call 101 or speak with any police officer.

“Also, information can be given anonymously through CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111. Our reference is incident 2291 of 4th August.”
