Police Hunt Man on Black Scooter
The force has now released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to about the attack. He’s described as a white male, around 6ft tall with a slim build. On the day, he wore a black puffa jacket with a dark blue hood, dark jogging bottoms, black trainers, and white socks.
Notably, he had a black scooter with ‘1’ written on the stem. Although the image doesn’t show his face, police hope someone will recognise his clothing or the scooter.
