POLICE in Crook are appealing for information to help trace a horse rider involved in a confrontation with a cyclist more than three months ago.
The rider passed the cyclist on the Brandon to Bishop Auckland bridleway and cycle path near Stockerley Lane, Oakenshaw, on August 11. The cyclist was carrying a ten-month-old boy on his back in a harness and the rider may have caught the youngster in the face with her riding crop.
The female rider is white, about 50 years old, with auburn hair and a wrinkled face and wearing a typical riding outfit. She is believed to be from the Willington or Brancepeth area.
Anyone who recognises the description is asked to contact PC Shaun McCarroll on (01388) 762011.
