Police issue update in connection with a racist attack on a famous international music artist in Wales

Police have issued an update in connection with a "deeply upsetting" racist attack on an international musician in a Welsh seaside town.

Morris 'Mo' Pleasure was slapped to the head and faced racial slurs in the early hours of April 3 as he entered Aberystwyth nightclub, Pier Pressure. The American multi-instrumentalist — who is Bette Midler's musical director and a former member of Earth, Wind and Fire — recently issued a statement to WalesOnline about the incident. You can read his comments here.

Now Dyfed-Powys Police has issued an appeal for information. A spokesperson for the force said: "An alleged racially aggravated assault occurred at about 2am on Sunday, April 3, outside Pier Pressure, Aberystwyth. We are appealing for help from the public to identify the person in the CCTV image, who may have information that could help the investigation. Anyone who knows who the person is, or if you believe you are pictured, contact Dyfed-Powys Police." You can get more Aberystwyth news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
