A MAN was allegedly assaulted by two men while waiting for a taxi in Bridlington.

The 54-year-old victim was sitting on a bench outside Tesco in the town at about 10.30pm on Tuesday, when he was approached by the pair who asked him for a light, then allegedly punched him to the ground, cutting his lip.

The suspects were described as about 20 to 25 years of age, both with dark hair, average build and about six feet tall.

Anyone with information should contact Humberside Police on 101 or phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
