Police investigating hate and knife crime incidents in York identify man they were looking for

A man pictured in CCTV images who officers wanted to speak to, following a hate and knife-threat investigation in York city centre, has now been identified.

They say thank you to all who shared the appeal.

“Please can you ensure the CCTV image is removed from all websites and social media accounts.”

The incidents happened on St Sampson’s Square between 2am and 2.20am on Sunday 8 March.

A man was alleged to have made homophobic slurs towards a group of women before threatening a couple in a taxi with a knife.
