A man has been assaulted at a hotel in Scarborough.

It happened on Wednesday 16th November at the Grand Hotel at 5.25pm.

A man in his late 70s was assaulted and police believe a CCTV image showing a distinctive coat may provide information that could help with their investigation.

Officers are appealing for witnesses and information to help work out what happened.

“We need to trace him as part of our investigation.”
