Police are appealing for witnesses after a car was damaged during an incident in Bridgnorth.
The incident took place at the Severn Car Park at around 7.15pm on the 7 September.
The victim, a 24-year-old man from Wolverhampton, was walking his dog along with another man when he was approached by an unknown female who became verbally abusive with him.
Both men went to leave the area when they found their vehicle, a Silver Ford Fiesta, had been surrounded by a group of 6-7 men and women of mixed ages. The group proceeded to push and kick the victim’s car, one member of the group picked up a large metal bin and threw it against the car casing damage to the drivers side panel and glass.
Another member also threw what has been described as a house brick through the wind screen of the car, completely destroying it. Throughout the attack, members of the group shouted homophobic slurs at both the victim and the man with him.
