North Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses and motorists with dash-cam footage after an incident of assault and criminal damage which took place last month in Scarborough.
It took place at 7.13pm on (Saturday) March 29 in Marine Drive and a man is reported to have kicked a woman off the curb and into the road, after throwing her phone and other items of property into the sea.

“Paramedics attended and treated the woman for injuries sustained in the fall. Further assessment revealed bruising to her arms, legs, and body which may be linked to other incidents,” said a spokesperson for the force.
At the time of the incident, the man was wearing black trousers, a grey top with black sleeves and an orange Nike log on the front, a black cap, and was accompanied by a medium-sized tan dog.
Police say they are ‘particularly keen’ to hear from motorists who were in the area at the time, especially those who may have needed to swerve to avoid the woman as she fell into the road.
They are also looking for other dash cam footage or any information that could help the investigation.
A 33-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the assault and has been released on bail whilst enquiries continue.
