A man in his 20s was riding his Haibike sDuro HardSeven 5.0 in the Eastgate area at around 5am on Sunday (January 30).

No arrests have been made, but police said enquiries into the incident were ongoing.

Detectives said they were keen to hear from anybody who was offered a bike with a white frame and blue and orange writing.

DC Josh Boswell, of East CID, said: "This was a nasty attack which left the victim very shaken.

"I would ask anybody who has information which could assist our investigation to contact the police as soon as possible."

Anyone with information can call 101 or email [email protected], quoting log number 0351 of January 30, 2022.
