Detectives say the suspect fled the scene on a bike, thought to be an e-bike or scrambler bike, and is thought to have been wearing black clothes and an orange high-vis jacket.

They are appealing to anyone who knows of someone matching that description who may have been in the area at the time, or who has seen any abandoned bikes nearby, to get in touch.
