A WOMAN dressed as the Incredible Hulk is being sought in connection with a violent assault in York.

She is wanted after a 17-year-old York girl was left with bruising to her face and a black eye in an attack outside McDonald's in Blake Street.

Police said that at the time of the incident – just after 3am on Friday, April 26 – the woman suspected of the assault was covered in green body paint with dyed red hair.

But it is believed she was a white woman, in her late teens or early twenties and around 5ft 8in tall with a medium build.

PC Cheryl Hunter, of York Police, said: “This appears to have been a wholly unprovoked assault.

“Thankfully the injuries were not too severe. However, the outcome could have been far more serious.

“If you witnessed the assault or can identify the woman I need to speak to about this incident, I ask that you contact the police or Crimestoppers straight away.”

Anyone who can help the police with their inquiries is asked to phone PC Hunter on 101 or email yorkcid@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk
