Man charged after 'hate crime incident' at Pride event

A 28-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested and charged in connection with a hate crime after an incident at a Pride event in Dundee last Saturday. 

Officers carried out an investigation following video footage circulating online.

The man is expected to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Thursday. 

Chief Inspector Colin Echevvarria, local area commander said: “Any form of hate crime has a huge impact on those targeted.

“An attack on people because of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race or beliefs, is abhorrent and will not be tolerated. I would encourage anyone to report this type of crime.

“I want to thank the public for their support during our enquiries.”
