On camera - the CCTV image of a man about to throw a brick at the home of an Islamic leader

The home of Sarfraz Sarwar, general secretary of the Basildon Islamic Centre, was targeted on Tuesday in an incident where a pig's trotter was left on his doorstep.

The CCTV picture shows a short, stocky man throwing a brick or lump of concrete at the window of the 51-year-old victim's home in Gordons, Pitsea.

He then bends down, picks up a second brick or lump of concrete and throws that.

Anyone with information about the attacks should call Basildon police on 01268 532212.
