Detective Constable Paul Heal said: “This was a particularly nasty assault which left the victim with serious facial injuries.

“Unfortunately, the victim did not see the suspect but we are hoping that because it happened in broad daylight at a busy time, someone would have seen the incident.

“We are urging anyone who witnessed the assault to come forward to us and aid us with our investigation.”

Witness should report any information to police online or by calling 101 with the reference 752 of 28/07.
