Police in Nottingham are seeking the public's support to identify an Ipswich Town supporter following reports of abuse directed at a disabled Nottingham Forest fan during a match at the City Ground in November.
Why it matters: Nottinghamshire Police are treating the incident as a hate crime and believe the man they would like to talk to may be from the Suffolk area.

The details:
The incident occurred around 17:00 on 30 November after the final whistle
Witnesses reported seeing an away supporter mocking a disabled Forest fan in the Bridgford Stand
The suspect allegedly banged on the glass separating the fans in an attempt to antagonise the victim
Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident
What they're saying: PC Rose Barton from Nottinghamshire Police said: "While we appreciate this individual is not likely to be local due to him being sat in the away end, we'd encourage anyone who recognises him from this appeal to come forward."
Help with the investigation: Anyone with information should:
Call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident 203 of 30 November 2024
Contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
The bottom line: Nottinghamshire Police are working with both football clubs as part of their investigation, stressing there is "absolutely no place for hate in any of its forms in our communities."
