A man's been charged with intimidating and assaulting two people at Mayfield East in what police are describing as a racially motivated attack.
Around 8:45pm on Tuesday night, the 38-year-old accused approached a 47-year-old man of African descent on George Street.
He allegedly slapped the victim in the face and kicked him in the leg while verbally abusing him.
It's there a woman in her 40s came to his aid before she also was verbally slurred.
Another member of the public came to assist and the man fled the scene.
Police arrested him a short time later on Maitland Road, Mayfield and charged him with common assault, two counts of stalk/intimidation intend fear, and breach of bail.
He'll face court next month.
