Scotland Yard today released CCTV images of a man they suspect for having targeted the turban of a Sikh activist in a racist attack outside Parliament in London last month.

Ravneet Pal Singh, South Asia Project Manager for EcoSikh, was in the security queue to enter Portcullis House an extension of the House of Commons complex in Westminster when a man targeted him in what the Metropolitan Police have been investigating as a "hate crime".

"A man who started shouting 'Muslim go back' approached the victim and attempted to remove his turban, grabbing it in his attempt to pull it off the victim's head. He was unsuccessful and then made off from the scene. Police attended soon after the attack following reports of an assault," the Met Police said in a statement released one month after the incident
