A man who allegedly assaulted and racially abused a member of staff and an elderly woman in a Worthing store is wanted by police for questioning.

Officers were called to Marks & Spencer on Montague Street around 2pm on May 24th following reports a man had become aggressive and abusive to staff and customers.

Witnesses say the suspect threw two metal shopping baskets at a female customer, causing a minor injury, before leaving.

He then briefly entered Poundland, before making off towards Chandos Road.

The suspect is described as a black man in his thirties, of stocky build, and at least 6’, with tattoos on his inner forearms.

At the time of the incident he was wearing a black baseball cap, a black mask on his face, a black T-shirt, black jeans and white trainers.

He had a black backpack on and a cream coloured puffa jacket which was removed after leaving Marks & Spencer.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened, or anyone who may recognise the man pictured.

You can contact police online or by calling 101, quoting serial 709 of 24/05.

Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
