A TEENAGER from Blackfen was beaten and racially abused as he waited for a bus.

The 19-year-old was at the B13 stop near Central Library in Townley Road, Bexleyheath, last Friday at 11.15pm, when a crowd of white youths got off a 269 bus.

They surrounded him and punched and kicked him to the ground where they carried on hitting him and racially abusing him before running off into the Broadway.

Witness to the attack or people who were on the 269, should call police on 020 8284 9165.
