He was also wearing a bright green T-shirt and riding a blue Pure scooter at the time of the incident.

“We’re in the process of trying to establish all the facts about what happened, and this includes analysing all of the available CCTV.

“As part of this, we’d ask that anyone who has any footage – whether CCTV, dash-cam, or doorbell – gets in touch with us.

“We also want to hear from anyone who may have seen what happened, or has any other information.

“This can be left with the police by calling 101, quoting incident 147 of 5 September 2024, while information can also be reported anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
