POLICE want to speak to this man in connection with a "disgraceful" racial attack in Blackpool.
The incident happened on St Annes Road, South Shore, while the victim was working on his car.
A man walked up behind the victim and slapped him around the back of his head.
Another thug then approached and hurled racist abuse at the victim before slapping him to the side of the face and fleeing the scene.
Although he did not suffer any serious injury, the 30-year-old was left extremely shaken by the ordeal.
PC Kenneth Armstrong, from Blackpool South police station, said: "We are keen to trace those responsible for this disgraceful attack and I would urge anyone who can identify the man in the image to come forward."
The incident happened on Friday November 6 at around 9.30pm.
Following the attack, police conducted inquiries locally and sought CCTV footage from local businesses.
