The police are appealing to the public to located the pedestrian. “I am looking to speak to anyone who may have seen the two men arguing in Gallowtree Gate or the subsequent assault in Market Place. It happened last Monday morning at a time when there would have been many people walking to work so the area was probably very busy,” Detective Constable Neil Rawlings, said. “If you remember seeing something, please contact police.”

The cyclist was taken to hospital where he was treated for a broken leg.
