A police spokesman said he was knocked off the pavement and into the road in an unprovoked attack.

The suspect is described as being white, with dark hair and stubble.

He was in his mid-twenties, 5’9” tall and was wearing blue shirt and jeans.

A number of people were in the area at the time and have not yet come forward.
