Appeal for information: incident on Knaresborough Road, Harrogate

We are appealing for information and witnesses to an incident that took place on Knaresborough Road, Harrogate.

It happened on Thursday 31 October 2024, at approximately 4.00pm between Drake's Fish and Chip Shop and the pedestrian crossing near Jesmond Road.
The victim, who was using a mobility scooter, was traveling along Knaresborough Road when a man and woman became verbally abusive.

The male suspect then became aggressive, pursuing the victim to the pedestrian crossing where he subjected them to further verbal abuse. The suspect kicked and shoved the scooter and attempted to push it over while the victim was still seated.

We are especially interested in speaking with anyone who may have witnessed the incident or captured it on dash cam footage. We would also like to hear from the individual who came to the victim’s aid.

If you have any information, please email PC 10 at [email protected], quoting reference number 12240199138.

Alternatively, you can call North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2, and ask for PC 10, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously at 0800 555 111 or via their website.
