An appeal following an assault in Malton

We’re appealing for information about an unprovoked assault that occurred on East Mount off Old Maltongate in Malton.

It happened at 10pm on Friday 22 March when a woman was cycling home from work when they were approached by their attacker who pushed them off the bicycle to the floor before running off. This was a wholly unprovoked attack. The lady was shocked and thankfully sustained only minor injuries as a result.

We’re particularly appealing for information about anyone running from this location at the time.

Please email [email protected] if you have any information that could help our investigation.

Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or via their website.

Please quote reference 12240051798 when passing on information.
