Pc Stephen Giddins of Lord Street Police Station said, “This type of abuse appears to be unprovoked and the language used was disgusting in nature. The fairground staff work hard for the enjoyment of both the local community and those enjoying the TT, such abuse will not be tolerated and I would urge those who witnessed this to come forward”.
