A woman has been racially abused on a train from Edinburgh to Bathgate.

Police say the victim was threatened after asking a group of disruptive men to calm down on the 11.37pm service.

One of the men is said to have racially abused and uttered threats towards a female passenger.

He is white, in his 20s and with short hair.

The group are also said to have used sectarian slurs before British Transport Police were alerted.

Officers want to trace the man as well any potential witnesses.
