He then racially abused the woman who responded by going to find a security guard. The offender then racially abused her for a second time. The child in the buggy was unharmed.
PC Johanna Miles, from Hemel Hempstead’s Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “This was a nasty incident which has understandably left the victim upset.
“I would like to speak to the man pictured in connection with the investigation and would ask anyone who can help identify him or anyone who has any information that could help the investigation to call the Herts Police non-emergency number 101 quoting crime reference number D1/16/5803.”
