A police spokesman said: “The 18-year-old victim was at the cinema with her partner when she was approached by a woman who was verbally abusive towards her.

“Two people have been interviewed in connection with the incident.

“However, we are continuing to appeal for witnesses, particularly anyone who was at the Savoy between 9pm and 10pm on Sunday, April 3.”
