The incident occurred on Nansen Road, between Park Avenue and Addison Road, last Thursday at around 5.30pm.

The victim did not get a good look at his assailant’s face but police hope members of the public may recognise the attacker’s distinctive clothing.

The offender is described as a white male in his late 20s/early 30s, wearing a black hooded top with yellow writing on the front, a scarf around his face and also wearing black jeans.

A spokesman for Fleetwood Police said: “We are looking for anyone who may have witnessed an assault that took place last Thursday on Nansen Road.
