The PSNI, appealing for information, said there is no place for “this kind of behaviour in our society”.

A spokesperson added: “It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to ensure that we live in a society where diversity is respected and people feel safe.

“Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances of this incident, which we are treating as a racially motivated hate crime, and we are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the area at the time, to get in touch.”
