Thursday, 14 March 2024 06:00

North Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses and information about an assault that occurred on Seamer Road in Scarborough.

It happened on Seamer Road near the bus stop past Lidl, at around 8pm on Friday 8 March 2024.

The victim, a local man in his 20s, received minor injuries that were treated at hospital.

Officers say:

We are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

In particular, we want to speak to a witness who got out of a passing van and intervened to protect the victim, preventing further injury to him. The witness is described as a white man, bald, wearing sunglasses and a hi-vis jacket.

We are also seeking information about four suspects. They are described as:

  • Female 1: white, 5ft 2ins tall, 15-17 years old, dark blonde shoulder-length hair, nose piercing, wearing a black puffa jacket.
  • Female 2: black, 15-16 years old, with afro hair in a ponytail, wearing a black coat.
  • Male 1: mixed race, 5ft 8ins tall, thin build, 16-17 years old, short dark afro hair, wearing dark clothing.
  • Male 2: white, short hair, about 16 years old, wearing a dark snood or mask covering his face and a grey tracksuit.
