Detectives are hunting four men after a young woman reported being racially abused as she walked alone on Hampstead Heath.
The victim, in her mid twenties, was left “shaken and nervous of being outside alone” following the “cowardly” verbal attack on Sunday evening.
She was walking near the Highgate Men’s Pond at about 8.55pm when she was approached by four men, who tried to talk to her.
When she did not stop, the men unleashed a torrent of racial abuse, police said. The distressed victim managed to film the suspects as they walked away.
Detective Sergeant Sam O’Callaghan, said: “For four men to verbally attack a lone female is beyond cowardly.
"The incident has left the victim shaken and nervous of being outside alone. If you can name any of the males shown in the images, or if you witnessed the incident but haven’t yet spoken with police, please contact us immediately.”
