A manhunt is underway after a serious assault in Dundee.

An elderly man and a woman were walking in Camperdown Park around 2.30pm on Sunday when the 70 year old was attacked.

He was taken to Ninewells Hospital with serious, but not life-threatening issues.

Police are looking out for a white man, aged 30-40, with short brown hair and stubble in connection.

Officers say he was wearing a red puffer jacket, dark bottoms and white Nike Air Max shoes, with red and black flashes.

Detective Constable David Feeney, from Dundee CID, said: “There appears to have been no motive for this attack, which has left a man with a serious injury. I am asking for any members of the public who were in the park around the time of the incident, or who recognises the description of the suspect, to please come forward.

“Anyone with information can call police on 101, quoting incident 1739 of 3 March. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.”
