Shocking Christmas Eve Assault

Police are desperate to identify a suspect involved in a hate-related attack on a Stagecoach bus in Northampton. The incident happened between 1pm and 1.15pm on Christmas Eve, December 24. A woman and her partner were at a bus stop opposite the Asda store in Harborough Road, Kingsthorpe, when a stranger approached and aggressively asked if she wanted a fight.

When she refused, the suspect kept up the intimidation and followed her onto the 4A Stagecoach bus. Without warning, the attacker punched the woman in the face before quickly fleeing the bus before departure.

Officers Urge Public to Help Identify Attacker

Northamptonshire Police believe the person pictured may hold crucial information. They are appealing to the public to come forward if they recognise the individual or have any details about the incident.
