A student who was racially abused by three men managed to drive past them in his car and take their photographs, police said today.
The man, 24, was approached by the youths who hurled racial abuse at him before one of them struck him on his shoulder with a beer bottle.
The student walked away from the youths to his car and then followed them and took pictures of them.
He drove to a shop to contact police but meanwhile he saw one of the youths smash the driver side window of his car with a beer bottle before running off.
Officers have now released the images of the wanted men following the incident in Portsmouth.
Pc Dan Neligan from Hampshire police said: ''This was a vicious, unprovoked attack on a young man which could have resulted in a serious injury.
''As part of my investigation, I'd like to hear from anyone who witnessed the incident or recognises the three youths.''
