DETECTIVES are appealing for witnesses after a 14-year-old German boy was racially abused and pushed into a fence by two women.

The boy was playing football with six other students when they were approached by the women.

When he was pushed he received a graze to his stomach but did not require hospital treatment.

The incident occurred in the Memorial Park in Kings Road, Herne Bay, at about 6.45pm on Friday, June 1.

Police say the women appeared drunk. Both are described as being aged about 20 with long, blonde hair in ponytails. One was wearing a pink top and short skirt and the other a black top and black short skirt.

Anyone with information about the women is asked to contact Det Con Shawn Galvin on 01227 868266.
