Police are appealing for witnesses after an assault in Lebberston.

It happened at around 12.30am on Saturday (10th July) in a lay-by near to the Jet Garage on the A165 towards Filey and involved a man and a woman who were in a grey car.

Officers say both people got injuries during the incident.

The 27-year-old man, who was located by the police away from the car, was arrested on suspicion of assault. He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Police are requesting the public’s assistance to help establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

In particular, they are appealing for witnesses to the assault which may have happened in the lay-by or in the grey car.

They are also keen to hear from motorists with dashcams who may recall seeing a grey car travelling in a dangerous manner – or the assault itself – between Scarborough and Filey.
