The suspects proceed to assault the male, leaving him with minor injuries but understandably shaken by what took place.
A hate crime was recorded in connection with the incident due to comments made by the suspects.
One suspect is described as a black male, around 6ft tall, of slim build with a shaved head and moustache. He was also believed to be wearing a dark blue hoodie, black joggers and white trainers, with a stretcher in one of his ears.

Initial enquiries suggest that there were two people who approached the incident on push bikes which led to the suspects fleeing the area.
