Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward after a
21-year-old man was racially abused and assaulted by four men in King George V

jeans.

The final suspect is black, in his early 20s, around 5ft 6in
and wore a dark coloured puffer jacket.

Detective Inspector Kevin Tait said: “I am appealing to
anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident.

“I appreciate the number of people out and about is limited
during these times but for those who were out, I would ask them to consider if
they saw these men or witnessed the incident to contact us.

“It is unacceptable for people to be targeted in this way
and we will do everything we can to trace the men responsible.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via
101, quoting incident number 2925 of 25 April 2020.
