The victim, a woman in her 40s, was approached by a man who pushed her to the ground; she sustained a broken wrist which is likely to require pins.

A 47-year-old man who is from the local area has been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

PC Dan Travis said: “This was a nasty incident which left the victim with a significant break to her wrist. She is facing a lengthy recovery process.

“I would like to speak to anyone who was in the Guildford Avenue area around lunch time on Tuesday 21 March – did you see the incident take place? We’d like to hear from you.”
