A MAN who is wanted in connection with an assault remains on the run more than a week after police appealed for information on his whereabouts.

North Yorkshire Police want to find James Thomas, 26, in connection with an assault that was reported in November in Selby.

A spokesman said Thomas knows he is wanted by police, but is refusing to hand himself in. He has links to Selby, and may still be in the town.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should phone 101 quoting reference 12180211841.
