POLICE are appealing for help over an assault that left an elderly man bruised and shocked after he was punched by a cyclist.
The 69-year-old was pushing his partner in a wheelchair at the time of the incident, on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 8, in Great Ayton, North Yorkshire, near disabled toilets at Park Rise.
He accidentally bumped into a bicycle and knocked it over. The owner of the bike then shouted at the man, punched him and knocked him to the ground.
The cyclist was white, aged about 40, and was wearing a cycle helmet, shorts and a jersey with Cleveland Wheelers written on the front.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Stokesley police on (01609) 789521.
