A witness appeal has been launched after a man was allegedly punched in the face and a pram containing a child was knocked over in a daylight assault near Haslemere.

Police are keen to speak to a bald man riding a fluorescent yellow mountain bike following the incident on High Street Green in Chiddingfold around 3.20pm last Tuesday.

The suspect has been described as a white male around 6ft 1ins tall with grey stubble and was wearing a maroon t-shirt at the time of the incident.

“Do you recognise this man from this description?” said a spokesperson for the police in calling for witnesses or potential dashcam or helmet cam footage.

Anyone with information should call Surrey Police on 101 quoting PR/45260028197.
