Police have confirmed they are investigating a report a DPD driver allegedly shouted racist abuse at a dad driving a car with two children, aged five and six, in the back. Naomi Arnold, 30, said her partner, who did not want to be named, was travelling in a car with his six-year-old daughter and her five-year-old friend in the back seats up Breck Hill Road towards the junction with B684 Woodborough Road in Mapperley Top.
At around 5.15pm on Sunday (April 24) evening, Ms Arnold said her partner was trying to turn right onto Woodborough Road, and a DPD van with three men in approached but could not get by him to turn left. Frustrated at not being able to get by at first, Ms Arnold claimed the DPD driver rolled down the window and started shouting very strong racist abuse at her partner.
Ms Arnold said her partner rolled down his window to tell the driver that there were children in the back, but then claimed the racist abuse got even worse after the driver was alleged to have said he did not care. Ms Arnold said her six-year-old daughter screamed at her dad and to drive away as quickly as possible, which he did.
