The taxi driver asked the suspect to leave the vehicle, which resulted in the driver being subjected to racial abuse, police said.

The suspect then attacked the driver before exiting the vehicle.

The driver suffered minor injuries but is "understandably shaken by the incident", police said.

Officers have conducted several lines of enquiry but have not yet been able to identify the suspect.
