Officers are asking the public to help identify a man who may hold some important information about an assault and incident of criminal damage in Whitby.

The incident occurred at around 9am on Friday 22 October 2021 on Silver Street and Flowergate.

A man in his fifties was assaulted outside Poundland on Flowergate following some damage being caused to silver grey vehicle which was parked on Silver Street. The victim was left with facial injuries including cuts and swelling.

Despite conducting extensive enquiries, collating CCTV and circulating his image with neighbouring police forces, officers have been unable to confirm the identity of the man in the pictures and so are now asking members of the public to get in touch if they recognise him.

Anyone with any information about the man’s identity is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2 and ask for PC Anya Hanbury 417 or email anya.hanbury@northyorkshire.police.uk
