The 25-year-old was walking along the High Street in Dover at about 1 pm on Tuesday, August 18, when a man came up and poked him in the chest.
He then started making racist comments about illegal immigrants and continued to follow the Iraqi, shouting racist abuse all the way.
He was described as being white, middle aged, with grey hair and wearing tracksuit bottoms but no top.
