Police are appealing for information after a Harrogate resident was assaulted and threatened last week.

North Yorkshire Police today (April 9) said a man who lives on Burns Way was “assaulted and verbally abused” at his home address by an unknown male on April 1.

The incident occurred at 3pm, when the suspect “made threats towards the victim and grabbed him by his arm, causing injury”.

Police added the male suspect, who was wearing a yellow high-vis jacket at the time, is described as white and in his late 50s. He is 5ft6 in height with short, grey hair and of “proportionate build”.

The force said:

We are asking members of the public if they saw or heard anything at this location on the date/time. If anyone has any information about this incident, please call North Yorkshire Police and quote reference number 12260057898.
