POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a man was abused on a bus.

The victim was travelling on the number 21 from Bridgwater to Burnham-on-Sea on March 5 at about 3.45pm when another man verbally abused them.

The man is described as white, in his 30s, about 6ft 2in tall, with short brown hair and a short brown beard.

Police say he was wearing a black and white Adidas hat, a navy blue coat and dark blue jeans.

The man had a tattoo on the left side of his neck, possibly of a bird, as well as a sleeve tattoo on his right arm. He was with two other men on the bus.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: “We’d like to speak to anyone who might recognise the description of the man or witnessed the incident.

“If you have any information please call 101 and quote reference 5218/048004.”
