Chief Inspector Burrows added: "I am appealing to anyone who was in the area between 3.20pm and 3.25pm yesterday and witnessed the assault, or any drivers who have a dash cam fitted to their vehicles to check their footage.
"Anyone with information they believe could assist our investigation is asked to contact police on the non emergency number 101, quoting reference number 1114 of 01/07/18.
