Police have made a fresh appeal for witnesses to an attack on a cyclist by a man in a white van.
The 51-year-old cyclist was assaulted during an argument in the Garthdee area of Aberdeen and is in hospital with serious facial injuries.
The incident happened at about 8.30am last Friday.
The attacker is said to have left the scene in Auchinyell Road in a van similar to a Fiat Doblo. He is aged 20-25, 5ft 10in and is slim or muscular with short, fair hair. He was wearing a light top and trousers and light trainers.
Officers said they also want to speak to the driver of the van.
PC Craig Smith, from Aberdeen police’s alcohol and violence reduction unit, said: “I would again urge anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or may have seen the two individuals arguing in the street at the time, to contact us.
“We are currently checking CCTV in the area and speaking to witnesses but I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who saw the incident or the white van, or knows anything about this matter and hasn’t yet spoken to officers.”
Inspector Mark Cochrane, of the local community policing team, said: “If you have information that could help, I cannot stress enough how important it is that you come forward and speak to the police.
“This is a shocking incident for not only those involved, but it also affects the rest of the Garthdee community. Thankfully this type of incident is rare.”
Anyone with information can call Police Scotland on 101.
