He is thought to be around 5ft 7inches tall and was wearing a black top and black and white tracksuit bottoms.

“It is incredibly important that we track down the person responsible for this horrific attack.
“I would ask anyone who has any information, no matter how insignificant you may think it to be, to get in touch with us as soon as possible."
