York Police are investigating an assault on a woman aged in her 70s at a supermarket car park.
The incident happened outside Aldi on Fulford Road between 9am and 9.10am on Friday (17 February 2023).
The teenage boy was challenged by the woman who saw him scratch her car with his bike when he went past.
It is alleged that the youth has hit out at the woman who was left with a nasty bruise and swelling to the top left-hand side of her chest.
The suspect is white, aged about 13, around 5ft tall, with a thin, wiry build. He was wearing a maroon hooded top with the hood up and was described as “scruffy”. The bike he had with him looked too small for him to riding it.
It is believed he was two other youths, but the victim was unable to provide a description.
