DOZENS of Muslim graves have been vandalised in what police believe is a racist attack in a Southall graveyard.

Several headstones were pushed over at the cemetery in Bridge Road, and flower pots and fencing around graves were also damaged on around 40 plots at the site.

Some damage was also done to Christian graves at the site.

Police say they are treating the damage, which was reported at around midday yesterday, as racially motivated.
