Woman racially abused by man on motorbike in Northampton

The incident happened between 5.20pm and 5.45pm, on Thursday, June 22, when the victim - who was driving a red Audi - was stationary in traffic at the St Peters Way roundabout heading towards Black Lion Hill, Northamptonshire Police today confirmed.

A spokeswoman for the force said: "A motorcyclist, a white man wearing black leathers and a helmet, approached the car, gestured to the driver to wind down the window, and then shouted abuse at her.

"A police officer in a nearby vehicle tried to intervene and signalled to the motorcyclist to stop, however, he failed to do so and rode off in the direction of the railway station."
