TWO drunken men who hurled a torrent of racist abuse at a family are being sought by police in Lancashire.
The men directed a prolonged tirade at an Asian family, making references to the Afghanistan war and other derogatory remarks.
They boarded the Blackpool South to Colne service at Preston, before one left the train at Church and Oswaldtwistle station and the other got off at Accrington.
The incident happened around 10.30pm on Friday, August 7.
PC Adam Birkbeck, who is investigating the incident for BTP, said: “We have CCTV footage of two men we would like to speak to about the incident.”
He said: “One of the offenders was white, in his 50s, and was about six feet tall.
He was of medium build, with dark brown hair, and was wearing a brown jacket, grey trousers and black shoes.
“The second man was also white and about six feet tall, but was in his 40s, stocky and had blond hair. He was also smartly dressed.”
